- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/2 – 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 pound County Natural Beef Butcher’s Blend Ground Beef
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons ketchup

- 2 tablespoons tomato paste

- slice of cheese (regular or dairy-free)
- dijon mustard

Instructions
- Bring large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add ghee or oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Add garlic and move around the pan until fragrant, about 10-20 seconds.
- Add onions and diced bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, allowing onions to soften.
- Add ground beef to the pan. Move around the pan until beef is cooked through, about 5-10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Add dijon mustard, yellow mustard, ketchup, coconut sugar, soy sauce, kosher salt, pepper, tomato paste, chili powder, worstershire sauce and apple cider vinegar.
- Stir to combine.
- Taste and adjust: if you want more sloppy joes more “saucey” simply add additional ketchup and tomato paste. Otherwise, adjust any salt or pepper, as desired.
- Serving: take your bun and place a slice of cheese (dairy-free or regular) on the bottom. Then add a scoop of the Sloppy Joe mix. On top of that add a few burger pickles, some pickled onions and then a little extra dijon mustard. Enjoy!!!
Notes
- Toppings: don’t skip the toppings – seriously SO GOOD!!
- Dairy-Free: to make this dairy-free simply use olive oil (instead of ghee) and opt for a dairy-free cheese slice (or simply omit).
- Gluten-Free: use tamari instead of soy sauce, omit the worcestershire sauce and serve on a gluten-free bun.
