Clean Eating Sloppy Joes

Recipe By Holistic Health by Holly

March Madness is among us, which means you might be heading to a watch party and need a dish to contribute to the spread. Or maybe you are looking for a clean, tasty recipe to feed you and your family. We are sure that these Clean Eating Sloppy Joes will hit the spot.

This recipe is inspired by the classic Sloppy Joe sandwich, but uses ingredients that fit perfectly into a healthy diet. Holly recommends switching things up and eating your Sloppy Joe meat with a side of roasted veggies, in a lettuce wrap, on spiralized raw veggies, or mixed in a bowl with other veggies.

  • 1 lb grass-fed ground beef

  • 2 tsp minced garlic
