Cooking Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, minced garlic, diced green pepper and diced onion. Begin to crumble and brown the ground beef and sauté the vegetables.
While it’s browning, add the ketchup, beef broth, coconut aminos, tomato paste, dijon mustard, salt and pepper into a slow cooker. Mix to combine.
After about 6-8 minutes of the beef browning and vegetables sautéing, transfer it to a strainer and drain the liquid in the skillet.
Transfer the beef and vegetables from the strainer into the slow cooker. Stir well to mix it with the sloppy joe sauce that’s already in the slow cooker.
Place the cover on the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours. In the last 45 to 30 minutes of cooking, slightly tilt the lid off of the slow cooker insert to allow the slow cooker to vent.
Serve over baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, spaghetti squash, sweet potato, a 'sloppy salad', or buns.
Notes
For optimal flavor, let the dish slow cook longer if desired. Adjust seasoning to taste.
