Ingredients

SLOPPY JOE SAUCE

  • 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 small cooked beet, chopped (about ½ cup)
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • ½ - ¾ cup bone broth or water
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • ¾ tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt, or to taste

SLOPPY JOE FILLING

  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil

  • 1 lb ground bison or beef
  • sea salt, to taste

Optional Recipe Ideas for Serving (links in NOTES):

Instructions

  1. Add all SLOPPY JOE SAUCE ingredients in order listed to a high-speed blender.

  2. Puree on medium speed until nearly smooth. Add extra broth or water if needed to thin the sauce as desired.

  3. Taste and adjust seasonings, then set sauce aside while you make the meat.

  4. Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add onion and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until golden brown and tender.

  5. Crumble in the ground bison or beef, breaking it into a chunky mince with a spatula.

  6. Stir in the sauce (reserving ¼ cup of the sauce for garnish if desired).

  7. Simmer for 8 to 12 minutes or until thickened to your liking. Taste and season with salt if needed.

  8. Serve the filling over halved AIP rolls and/or AIP coleslaw, topped with AIP pickles, and with AIP plantain fries on the side, if desired.
