Introduction
This is surprisingly a lower calorie meal but, the fat is kinda high....substitute the ground beef for ground turkey for lower fat. This recipe is best the longer it cooks and can be placed in a crockpot after its made to make it even more rich in flavors. Calorie count is for 8 Regular size buns but, you could divide this among 24 rolls and make as an appetizer for a party. Can be as spicy or mild as you like it.

Ingredients
-
1 Lb. of Lean Ground Beef, browned and drained
1 Can Tomato Paste (6 oz.)
1 Packet McCormick Sloppy Joes Seasoning Mix
1-1/4 C. Water
1 Onion, Chopped
1 Green Pepper, Chopped
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
A few dashes of Frank's Red Hot Sauce
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes to taste
Directions
Makes 8 Sandwiches (Buns or Tortillas not included in Nutritional Info)
In a large skillet or pot, brown meat w/ onion, garlic and green pepper over medium-high heat. Drain fat and rinse(if using beef to remove more fat). Return to pan and stir in seasoning mix, crushed red peppers(if you like it spicy), tomato paste and water. Bring to a boil and simmer 10 min. stirring occasionally.
You can serve immediately on buns, tortillas, over noodles or rice. I like to put in my crockpot (to really makes the flavors rich) and heat over low for a good portion of the day (just make sure to add a little extra water through out the slow cooking process and stir occasionally). Before serving add a few dashes of hot sauce.
To make as an appetizer, divide mixture over 24 rolls and top w/ reduced fat cheese and a dill pickle slice, if you like. Cover in foil and keep in the oven on warm setting until party starts.
Also makes a great coney dog sauce.
