I have this thing with sloppy joes. I’ve always just LOVED them. This is some seriously delicious comfort food, and with a quick update on ingredients this can be made Paleo friendly! Serve them on top of my paleo rolls for a deliciously satisfying meal, or if you want over a baked potato or sweet potato or spaghetti squash.

Ingredients Needed

  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic
  • Ground Beef
  • Arrowroot Powder
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Mustard
  • Vinegar
  • Onion Powder
  • Paprika
  • Chili Powder
  • Sea Salt

Obviously, Sloppy Joe’s are traditionally served on a roll or some type of bread. Luckily I have a paleo bread recipe that makes amazing rolls so you can still use that option if you’re following a Paleo or gluten-free diet. Check out that recipe here.

If you are looking to skip the bread all together, feel free to serve this over a baked potato or sweet potato, or with spaghetti squash!

I love topping these with jalapeños, roughly chopped lettuce, sliced red onion and tomatoes but these are delicious all on their own as well!
