Ingredients
- 1 ½ c Tomato Sauce [or (1) 15 oz. can]
- 2 T Tomato Paste [or (½) 6 oz. can]
- 1 T Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 T Coconut Aminos
- 1 t Ground Mustard Powder

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, red wine vinegar, beef broth, coconut aminos, mustard powder, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
- 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.
- Stir in the red pepper, garlic, and green chilis. Allow everything to cook for 5 minutes, stirring periodically.
- Stir in the prepared sloppy joe sauce, turn down the heat to low, and let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes.
- 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!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
