Venison Sloppy Joes
Adding beans to your venison sloppy joes helps stretch the meat just a bit further, and picky kids can't pick them out.
Ingredients
- 1 white onion diced
- 2 ½ lbs ground venison or beef, elk, moose, etc.
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1 ¼ cups ketchup
- 1 cup beer or beef broth or water
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free
- 1 can navy beans drained and rinsed
- 12 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Brown onion, add meat, cook til browned.
- Stir in remaining ingredients, bring to a simmer just under a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, put a lid on, and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste for salt and add if needed.
- Serve on bun of your choice.
Notes
- Quite often we will brown the buns on a cast iron pan with butter before putting our sloppy joe mix on, helps the bun from getting soggy.
- Swap in a can of baked beans for navy, but you'll want to reduce the ketchup to 1 cup, depending on how saucy your can is.
- Try cannellini or white beans as well.
- I used our freeze dried bell peppers! You can also easily freeze diced onion and peppers for use in recipes like this.
- Remember to keep gluten-free you'll want to substitute the beer and Worcestershire sauce.
