🍅 Ingredients

For the Keto Sloppy Joe filling:

  • ½ small onion, finely chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • ½ green bell pepper, finely chopped

  • ¾ cup sugar-free ketchup

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or coconut aminos for paleo)

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp chili powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • Optional: pinch of erythritol or monk fruit for sweetness

For serving (choose one):

  • Chaffles

  • Lettuce wraps

  • Keto buns

  • Over cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower

🔥 Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics
    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté the chopped onions and green pepper until soft (about 3–4 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

  2. Brown the Beef
    Add ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed.

  3. Make the Sauce
    Stir in tomato paste, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you like it sweeter, add a pinch of erythritol.

  4. Serve It Up!
    Spoon the hot, saucy mixture over your choice of keto-friendly base: chaffle, lettuce wrap, or cauliflower mash.

🍽️ Tips for Success

  • Use quality ketchup – Make sure it’s sugar-free to keep this keto.

  • Add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.

  • Double the batch and freeze half—it reheats like a dream!

  • Make it cheesy – Melt shredded cheddar on top before serving.

🧠 Keto FAQ: Can I Eat Sloppy Joes on Keto?

Yes—but not the traditional kind! The typical Sloppy Joe sauce is loaded with sugar and served on a high-carb bun. This recipe uses a keto-friendly sauce and skips the bun (or replaces it with keto alternatives) to give you all the flavor without the carbs.
