Sloppy Joes

SLOPPY JOES

Comfort food is typically any food that is reminiscent of wonderful childhood memories or has strong nostalgic or sentimental value. While usually considered a food that is higher in carbohydrates with a high-glycemic effect, it can also be just a traditional American favorite. Sloppy Joes certainly fit that category. Be sure to double this super easy family favorite, because it isn’t just good for weight loss! It will also provide easy leftovers for your protein choice during the week. One recipe equals four servings (if using 80-85% lean grass-fed beef).
