#108: Skinny Sloppy Joes

I found this recipe while looking through various blogs, and decided to give it a try.  Although it was ok, we thought it was too sweet and really didn't enjoy this as much as some of our other healthy sloppy joe recipes.  We probably will not be making this one again at our house and will resort back to our Diet Coke Sloppy Joe recipe instead.  My diet coke recipe is easier and we all LOVE that one!  If you want to give it a try though, the recipe for Skinny Sloppy Joe's is below:

1.25 lbs 93% lean ground beef sirloin
1 tbsp steak seasoning or seasoned salt
1 carrot, minced
1 medium onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, minced
4 oz mushrooms, minced
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tbsp tomato paste

Chop all the vegetables really fine, using a chopper or food processor.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the meat to the pan and break it up as it cooks. Season with steak seasoning and cook the meat until it browns, then add onion, carrots, mushrooms and red peppers to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and add red wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, cook 5 more minutes. Add tomato sauce and paste to pan, stir to combine. Cover and reduce heat to simmer and cook an additional 5 minutes.
