Hi Friends. Warmer days mean more outdoor time for our family and less time for the kitchen. We have been searching for clean, easy recipes to add to our rotation and we've found one that we really love. Enter: Marguerite's Clean Crock Pot Sloppy Joes! These sloppy Joes take 20 minutes to prep before they hit the crock pot, they are completely all natural, and are packed with hidden veggies. We topped them with avocado on a toasted gluten free bun, but it's so delicious it can easily stand on its own. Enjoy!
2 pounds Lean ground beef (we used grass-fed)
2 16-ounce jars salsa
8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
1-1/2 cups shredded carrot
1-1/2 cups finely chopped red/green sweet pepper
1/3 cup tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried basil, crushed
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 tablespoons of Marguerite's All Natural Mexican Seasoning
4 cloves garlic, minced
1) In a large skillet cook ground beef until brown. Drain off fat. In a crock pot combine meat, salsa, mushrooms, carrot, sweet pepper, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, Marguerite's All Natural Mexican Seasoning, and garlic.
2) Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8-10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours.
