Sloppy Joe

Ingredients:
 ¾ pound quality lean ground beef (10% fat) or turkey

1 yellow onion, peeled and diced

1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced

¾ cup tomato puree

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1½ tbs light brown sugar

1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon chilli powder

½ can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

freshly ground pepper, to taste

4 whole wheat hamburger buns or whole wheat wraps

1 cup shredded lettuce

Method:

Sloppy Joe is an all-American classic, and here's one you can easily make yourself at home. It won't take you long and you'll know exactly what's in it.

Put a large sauté pan over a medium heat and crumble in the beef or turkey. Fry until the meat starts to brown then add the bell pepper and onion. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the veggies start to soften – this should take around 5 to 10 minutes.

When the veggies are tender, add the tomato purée and stir into the meat, then add the vinegar, brown sugar, honey, mustard and chile powder to the pan and give everything a really good stir. Add the beans, season with salt and pepper, then bring to a boil and cook until the sauce is nice and thick.

To serve: pile the Sloppy Joe mix onto the bottom of a bun or middle of a wrap, top it with lettuce and close up the sandwich or roll up the wrap.
