These sloppy joes are the perfect tomato-free dupe of a comfort food classic! Serve them in a bowl with roasted sweet potato or a gluten-free bun. 

Ingredients 

For the sloppy joe 

• 2 tsp avocado oil
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced 
• 1 lb ground beef
• Salt & pepper 
• 1 jar daylight veggie pasta sauce 
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos 
• 2 tsp coconut sugar
• 2 tbsp green onion, chopped

For serving

• Gluten-free buns 
• Sliced red onion
• Pickles

Instructions 

1. Using a large, deep pan set over medium heat, heat the avocado oil until shimmering. Add the onion and saute for 3 minutes on until it begins to soften.
2. Add the ground beef, salt and pepper. Crumble the ground beef until browned.
3. Pour the Veggie Pasta sauce over the beef, coconut aminos, and coconut sugar. Stir well to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer (stirring often) for 10-12 minutes or until thick and reduced. Top with green onion.
4. Assemble the sloppy joes with gluten-free buns, sliced red onion, and pickles. Alternatively, you can also make sloppy joe bowls with roasted sweet potato!
