Paleo Sloppy Joe Bowl
Sloppy joe is an American classic made with ground beef, a sweet tomato/ketchup-based sauce, and usually served between two hamburger buns. It’s tasty, but not exactly healthy.This sloppy joe is made without the bun, and without a sauce filled with refined sugar. Pair it with vegetables and store it in a glass meal prep container for an easy and flavorful meal that you can prep over the weekend to eat for lunch throughout the week!
