Extra Sloppy Joes

This is a great alternative to something like the canned Sloppy Joe sauces.  This is super quick and tasty.  Always keep some grass fed ground beef in the freezer to throw together a recipe like this.

Serves 4-6

Advanced Plan

photo2 lbs grass fed ground beef
1 small organic green bell pepper
1 small onion
12 ounces (1 can) organic crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons worchestershire sauce (check ingredients!)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt (or to taste)

Brown ground beef.  Chop the peppers and onions very fine or do a wet chop in the VitaMix.  Drain the beef and add the veggies and cook until veggies are softened.  Add tomatoes and spices and cook until done.

Serve over lettuce leaves, with Grain Free Rolls, or in a sprouted grain wrap (Core Plan)

Sweet Barbecue Sauce

This recipe comes from Dr. Janet Early.  She has been a welcomed addition to our staff because she is a foodie like me 🙂  She is brilliant at coming up with replacements to the “favorites” people just don’t like to give up.

Try it on organic chicken wings, grilled chicken breasts, shredded chicken, grass fed brisket, grass fed beef sloppy joes, etc, etc, etc….

From Dr. Janet’s Blog

“Barbecue season will soon be upon us.  Most barbecue sauces are loaded with high fructose corn syrup and other unhealthy sweeteners.  I’ve been trying to come up with an Advanced Plan and Core Plan version that tastes as good as the sugary ones.  Give this one a try at your next barbecue. My very picky family loved it!” ~ Dr. Janet Early

  7 oz. organic tomato paste
7 oz. filtered water
2 1/2 T rice vinegar
2 T Coconut liquid aminos * or Liquid   Aminos
1/4 tsp. ground celery seed
3/4 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
1/2 tsp. stevia (adjust to personal sweetness preference)

Heat in a small saucepan.  Brush on meat the last few minutes of baking or grilling.  Cook for a few minutes,
flip, and then brush the other side of the meat before baking for a few more minutes.  Serve with extra sauce.

*Coconut liquid aminos are available at most health-food stores, including Nature’s Corner.  It can also be ordered through Amazon.

This barbecue sauce also works well for an Advanced Plan catsup replacement
