From: Fine Cooking BooksThese Sloppy Joes are everything you could wish for in this crowd-pleasing sandwich--a rich, meaty filling smothered in tangy-sweet, thick tomato sauce that just refuses to stay inside the bun. You definitely need a fork and a few napkins to eat this mouthwatering meal!
Ingredients
1 pound lean or extra-lean (90% lean or higher) ground beef
1 medium onion, diced (about 1-1/2 cups)
4 cloves garlic, minced (about 4 tsp.)
1 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced (about 1 cup)
1 15.5-oz. can small red or pinto beans, preferably low-sodium, drained and rinsed
1-1/2 cups no-salt-added tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon unsulfured molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
8 whole-wheat burger buns
Directions
1. Brown the meat and onion in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, breaking up the meat into crumbles as it cooks. Pour the drippings out of the pan and discard. Add the garlic, jalapeno, and red pepper and cook 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, except the buns, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
2. Place a 12-cup scoop of the mixture onto each bun and serve.
