Lately I’ve been making a lot of low key keto comfort food that I can warm up throughout the week for quick meals. Bonus if I can repurpose some of it to mix with noodles for our girl with cerebral palsy. She is a bit of a picky eater at the care facility but she LOVES darn near anything mixed with noodles. Starting out with 5 lbs of 80/20 ground beef.I swear it takes eons to thaw a 5 lbs chub lol.
Adding in the seasoning. 2T dk chili powder, 2T Onion powder, 1T Garlic powder, 1T Salt, 1T medium grind black pepper. Added and browned / chopped until nice and crumbled. I swear that tool in pic was a life changer when I discovered it!
Remove the meat leaving the fat. You can remove some if it’s excessive. Adding in 2 minced onion and 2 chopped bell pepper with 1T minced garlic.
Cooked until nice and tender.
Mix the beef back in
Now add the sauce which is 3 cups crushed tomatoes, 5T tomato paste, 1 cup Brown Swerve, 1T each Dijon mustard,ACV and Worcestershire sauce.I simmered for a good 20 minutes on medium heat.
At the end add 1/2t of xanthan gum and storm in on low heat.This is optional but does help to keep that fat (flavor) from separating. Here it is in a big bowl and some I did for Amber with bow tie pasta , shredded cheddar and a sprinkle of fresh parsley and dill.
She will love these. For me it will be in low carb wraps or on low carb bread open face with shredded sharp cheddar. Like I said nothing spectacular but it sure tastes great! Been a long time since I’ve had sloppy joes. Thanks for looking!
