Paleo Sloppy Joe Sliders

  • Author: Jen
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A traditional-tasting paleo sloppy Joe with just the right amount of sweet and smokey flavors. Added to sweet potato toast for a quick gluten-free bun alternative.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 5 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 can tomato paste (unsalted)
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 + 3/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1+ 1/4 teaspoons smoked paprika*
  • 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  1. If making sweet potato toast, heat oven to 400 degrees (F). Wash and cut a sweet potato lengthwise about 1/4″ thick. Place on parchment paper and bake on 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
  2. Brown ground beef and diced onion in a large skillet on medium high until meat is no longer pink. Drain out any grease.

    While meat is cooking, make the sauce:

    • Mix all seasonings with the water.
    • Add tomato paste, mustard and maple syrup and stir to combine.
  3. Mix the sauce with the meat and turn heat to low to keep warm.
  4. Add a scoop of saucy meat to your sweet potato toast and top with another piece of toast. Add a toothpick to hold together, if necessary and enjoy!

Notes

*this should be smoked paprika since it will give it the smokey taste you expect with a Sloppy Joe. I find mine at Trader Joe’s year round. This one is also good.

There may be a little leftover sauce here. Feel free to add more ground beef (the Costco 1-1/3 lb pack is perfect), or use it as a barbecue sauce dip. Or just pour it on the Joe’s for extra sloppiness.
