Sloppy Joes

Here is a quick dinner recipe that the kids will love.  I adapted a Rachel Ray recipe to our tastes and increased the ground beef to make sure we would have leftovers!  We like to serve our sloppy joes with these sweet potato fries (EF, DF, GF).

Sloppy Joes 

Adapted from Rachel Ray’s Super Sloppy Joes 

2 pounds lean ground beef

¼ c brown sugar

1 t garlic powder

½ t freshly ground black pepper

½ t seasoned salt

¼ - ½ t ground mustard

½ onion, diced

1 T red wine vinegar*

1 T Worcestershire sauce

1 15 oz can tomato sauce

2 T tomato paste

Cook ground beef and onion in a large skillet until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender.  Drain.  Stir in all remaining ingredients and simmer about 10 minutes.  Serve on hamburger buns or your favorite gluten-free bread.  Serves 8-10 

* According to Celiac-Disease.com red wine vinegar should be gluten-free but please omit, if there is a concern.
