Cabbage Sloppy-Joes

[Guest guest]

I have a wild-child who is all meat and potatoes. His idea of a vegetable side

dish is mashed potatoes or maybe a dollop of corn! Trying to tame his diet

and stuff a few veggies in it has been an egregious challenge for me.

 

Here is a kid-friendly food item that he actually will eat and not notice he is

getting healthy stuff. For ease, I sometimes use the pre-shredded cole slaw

mix from the store; adds carrots too.

 

1 lb veggie ground " beef " (I use Yves brand ground round)

1 Tbs. olive oil

1-1/2 cups finely shredded cabbage

1 medium onion, chopped

1 celery rib chopped

1/4 cup green pepper, chopped

sloppy- joe seasoning packet ( I use McCormick brand)

1 (6oz.) can tomato paste & water

 

In a skillet, cook veggie-meat, olive oil, cabbage, onion, celery, and green

pepper until all the vegetables are soft. Then prepare the rest according to the

sloppy-joe packet instructions. Makes 8 large sandwiches.
