Eating Well Sloppy Joes

A family favorite in our house are Sloppy Joes. My daughter has her own cookbook and loves to treat us to her variation of the Joe...unfortunately it isn't a very healthy concoction. This morning, she asked me is she could make dinner...you guessed it, she asked about the Joe. In an attempt to steer her cooking style in a more health-conscious direction, I found this recipe on Food.com, and thought we'd give it a try.

Eating Well Sloppy Joes

8 servings, generous 1/2 cup filling each

Ingredients

• 12 ounces 90%-lean ground beef
• 1 large onion, finely diced
• 2 cups finely chopped cremini mushrooms (about 4 ounces)
• 5 plum tomatoes, diced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup chili sauce, such as Heinz
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 8 whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted if desired

Directions

Crumble beef into a large nonstick skillet; cook over medium heat until it starts to sizzle, about 1 minute. Add onion and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables are soft and the moisture has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes.

Add tomatoes and flour; stir to combine. Stir in water, vinegar, chili sauce and ketchup and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and the onion is very tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

Serve warm on buns.
