Keto Sloppy Joes
Family favorite turned Trim Healthy Mama Friendly!
I don’t know about y’all, but my family and I LOVE sloppy joes! I remember being a young married girl, making sloppy joes from a dry seasoning packet (loaded with all the junk) and dishing it up on the cheapest white burger buns we could get.
We were “budget conscious”…
But, as time passed, I wanted to start making more things from scratch, including sloppy joes. In the beginning, I would make this recipe with tablespoons (TABLESPOONS people!!! NO!!!) of brown sugar and think nothing of it.
Once I came to the Trim Healthy Mama way of eating, I knew I needed to modify my recipe so we could still have the things we loved, but not destroy our blood sugar.
So that’s where this recipe comes in to play!
I’d love to know what you think once you’ve tested it out!
