Ingredients

Sloppy Joes

1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
1 lb grassfed ground beef
½ red onion diced
1 tbsp tomato paste
⅔ cup compliant tomato or marinara sauce I like Rao's Homemade
2 cloves minced garlic
¼ cup coconut aminos
1 tbsp dijon or yellow mustard
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp sea salt
1 tbsp hot sauce
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp crushed red pepper

Spaghetti Squash

1 large spaghetti squash

Broccoli

1 16 oz package broccoli florets
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp sea salt

Instructions

Spaghetti Squash

Preheat oven to 400. Cut a large spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place cut side down on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake at for 35 minutes. Use a fork to remove the spaghetti strands and serve with the Sloppy Joe mixture and broccoli.

Sloppy Joes

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in onion and garlic. Saute for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add in ground beef and stir until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in remaining Sloppy Joe ingredients, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until ready to serve.

Roasted Broccoli

Mix the florets, oil, and salt well with your hands. Spread out evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet and add to the oven when the squash has about 13-14 minutes left. Serve with the Sloppy Joe mixture and squash! Enjoy!
