Whole30 Sloppy Joe Bowls

Does anyone else laugh when they hear the term ‘sloppy joe’? Tell me you imagine a hairnet-wearing Adam Sandler as the lunch lady. Sloppy Joe’s are fun. Period. What’s MORE fun is eating them bowl style, in the form of these healthy, whole30 sloppy joe bowls.

Those fun sandwiches you grew up eating suddenly have taken an adult approach, without losing their coolness. Because I really can’t afford to lose any more cool on my coolness chart. At first it was turning 30, then having two kids, then rarely doing my hair and makeup, THEN driving a mommy mobile (it’s not a minivan…but still).

I’m not knocking minivans – I have friends that swear they are the greatest thing since electricity. But I just can’t do it. I’ll stick with my SUV, unless they make a mini van with flames down the sides and pink tinted windows. The again, that’s kind of creepy, pedophile material. See? Even when I dream about being cool it fails miserably. But when I dreamed up a bowl of sloppy joe goodness, that is whole30 compliant and hearty enough for the biggest of appetites, I said to myself, “I may not be cool, but I can cook – and that’s good enough for my husband to never leave me and for my kids to survive.”



Whole30 Sloppy Joe Bowls

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 medjool dates, pitted
2/3 cup water (reserved)
russet potatoes (one per person)

Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef in a large pan over medium-high heat and add the onion. Drain any excess grease
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the green pepper, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic, dried parsley, and salt. Mix well
  • Meanwhile, in a separate small pot, bring 2/3 cup of water to a boil and add the dates. Boil 30-60 seconds, just long enough to soften the dates. Remove the dates from the pot (reserving the water for later)
