1 tablespoon minced garlic |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
6 ounces ground sirloin |
1/2 cup grated carrot |
2 teaspoons chili powder |
1 teaspoon brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes |

4 (2-ounce) whole-wheat sandwich rolls, split and toasted |
4 (1/4-inch-thick) red onion slices, separated into rings |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, and beef to pan; cook 5 minutes or until meat is browned and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally to crumble beef. 2. Add carrot, chili powder, sugar, oregano, and red pepper; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook 10 minutes or until thickened and carrot is tender, stirring occasionally. 3. Partially mash 1 cup beans with a fork or potato masher. Add mashed beans and remaining whole beans to pan; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Spoon 1 cup bean mixture onto bottom half of each roll; top each serving with 1 red onion slice and top half of roll. |
