  2. Brown the ground beef and onions together in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the meat is brown, drain the excess fat and return meat/onion mixture to the pan.
  3. Stir in the red pepper, garlic, and green chilis. Allow everything to cook for 5 minutes, stirring periodically.
  4. Stir in the prepared sloppy joe sauce, turn down the heat to low, and let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes.
  5. Scoop ¼ to ⅓ cup of sloppy joe mixture onto 1 romaine lettuce leaf (snapped in half and stacked on top of each other for strength), or any Paleo-friendly bun. Serve immediately!
  6. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
