Ingredients
Sloppy Joes
- 1 large red pepper diced finely
- 1 white onion diced finely
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 6 ounce can tomato paste
- 3 tbsp Coconut aminos
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- 1 cup water plus more if needed
Sweet Potatoes

Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice sweet potatoes about 1/4 inch thick and arrange on a large baking sheet.
- Next, brush melted coconut oil over both sides of each sweet potato round and bake for 30 minutes, flipping after 20 minutes. Then, remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, add red pepper, onion and olive oil. Cook over low medium heat for about 7 to 8 minutes or until onions become soft.
- Next, add in ground beef and cook on medium until brown and crumbly.
- Discard excess fat from pan. Then, add in remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and let simmer for at least 15 to 20 minutes, adding more water if mixture becomes too dry.
