From Make-a-Mix by Karine Eliason. I purposefully omitted the salt for a healthier version. Could not find green pepper flakes, so I used Spike seasoning as an emergency substitute. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon minced dried onion (salt free) or 1 tablespoon onion powder (salt free) |
1 teaspoon spike seasoning (no sodium or low sodium) or 1 teaspoon dried green pepper flakes |
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (salt free) or 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (salt free) |
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder |
1/4 teaspoon celery seed |
1/4 teaspoon chili powder |
1 tablespoon cooking oil |
1 lb lean ground sirloin (soft tofu, ground chicken or turkey or gimme lean can be substituted) |
1/2 cup water |
3 tablespoons sloppy joe seasoning mix |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
salt |
6 whole grain buns or 8 whole wheat rolls |
Directions:
1. Seasoning Mix: Combine all ingredients in a coffee mill or mini chopper and blend well.
2. Store in a cool dry place, covered. Use up within 6 months.
3. Yield: Enough for 6 Sloppy Joes.
4. Sloppy Joes: Heat up the oil in a saute pan on medium-high heat and brown the meat until no longer pink. Pour off grease.
5. Add the Sloppy Joe's seasoning mix, can of tomato sauce, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer 15-20 minutes. Season to taste with salt if desired.
6. Serve hot over rolls. The buns can be toasted or untoasted, your choice.
7. Eat but remember to chew!
