I found this on Denise Austins morning stretch email this morning. i wanted to post to keep track of for future use. i've been craving sloppy joes.
Ingredients:
12 ounces lean ground beef (round or sirloin)
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2/3 cup frozen corn kernels
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
whole wheat hamburger bun
Directions:
1. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Crumble in the beef and cook, stirring often, until it loses its pink color, about 5 minutes. Drain the beef in a colander and wipe out the skillet.
2. In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 3 minutes.
3. Return the beef to the skillet and stir in the tomato sauce, corn, ketchup, vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Bring just to a boil.
4. Reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
5. Serve on whole-wheat hamburger buns with add-ons like chopped onion, pickled peppers, pickle slices, low-fat grated cheese, tomato slices, or whatever other toppings you like.
