Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ medium yellow onion, minced
  • ¼ cup finely chopped green bell pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¾ cup tomato sauce
  • ¼ cup unsweetened Primal Kitchen ketchup
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1–2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
  • 4 gluten-free buns or baked sweet potatoes

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  2. Add minced onion and green bell pepper, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Sauté until veggies soften (4-5 minutes), then stir in minced garlic.
  3. Combine tomato sauce, ketchup, water, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, and optional hot sauce in the skillet. Stir well.
  4. Bring to a gentle boil; reduce to a simmer and cover for 10 minutes to meld flavors and thicken the sauce.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve on toasted buns or over baked sweet potatoes.
