Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean Ground Sirloin
  • 3/4 cup Red Onion, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup Red Bell Pepper, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup Green Bell Pepper, finely chopped
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1 cup Tomato Sauce, no sugar added
  • 1/4 cup Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1-2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/4 Ground Cinnamon
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Whole Grain Hamburger Buns

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, brown meat over medium heat, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon.
  2. Add onion, bell peppers and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, combine tomato sauce through cinnamon and mix well. Stir into beef mixture and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
  5. Serve on buns.

Meal Prep Tips:

  • This meal comes together in 20 minutes when you prep the ingredients in advance. Chop the onions, peppers, garlic and prepare the sauce up to 3 days ahead of when you plan to cook.
  • To serve, keep things simple by pairing this with steamed broccoli, green beans or a salad. Roasted sweet potato fries would partner well, too!
