Buffalo Sloppy Joes. Years ago, we made sloppy joes and none of us cared for it, too sweet, too messy, not sure but we didn’t make them again for a long time. Then, we saw Rachel Ray make Buffalo Turkey Joes and we tried it, everyone really liked it. Later, we found a sloppy joe recipe by Jamie Oliver that was full of veggies. Now, both recipes have been combined and tweaked into keto-friendly Buffalo Sloppy Joes. Pre-keto we served it over rice, now we use Miracle Noodle but zoodles or low carb buns/wraps would be good too. As you can see it’s about 50/50 meat to veg ratio, but even our pickiest eater likes it.
Buffalo Sloppy Joe
1T butter
1 pound ground meat (we use beef but turkey or a mix works too)
1/2 onion, finely chopped (white or yellow)
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1 zucchini, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp dried thyme
1c beef broth
1T Worcestershire sauce
3oz tomato paste
1T cider vinegar
1/4c hot sauce, more/less to taste (we use Frank's Red Hot)
S&P to taste
1T keto-friendly sweetener (optional) the original recipes called for honey or brown sugar but we found that we like it without any sweetness
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet on medium heat, add meat and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add chopped vegetables and herbs. Continue cooking until meat is thoroughly cooked and vegetables soften.
3. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer on low 5-20 minutes, until sauce thickens nicely (the longer you simmer the more the flavors marry). Serve over keto-friendly rice/pasta (we like Miracle Noodle), zoodles or use low carb buns or tortillas.
TIP: add crumbled blue cheese on top or blue cheese dressing to your bun/wrap.
This recipe serves 4 and can easily be doubled.
