Black Bean Sloppy Joe
Modified from McDougall Quick and Easy Cookbook
Serves: 6
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
· 1 sweet yellow onion, chopped
· 1 green bell pepper, diced
o Or frozen pepper and onion blend, 12 oz size.
· 1/3 cup of water
· 1-15 oz can of no or low sodium black beans (can substitute pinto or kidney).
o Or soak ½ cup dry beans the night before and simmer for 1 ½ hours or until beans are soft.
· 8 oz can no or low sodium tomato sauce
· 1/3 cup quick-cooking oatmeal (do not cook, put in dry)
· 1 TBSN low sodium soy sauce
· ½ TBSN prepared mustard of your choice (ie: Dijon, Honey-Mustard, Stone-ground)
· If need to sweeten try 1 tsp of honey or pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
· 1 tsp chili powder
· Whole-wheat buns or bread, or Ezekiel bread
Directions:
· Place chopped onion and pepper in a saucepan with the water. Cook, stirring frequently, until veggies soften, about 5 or so minutes.
· Meanwhile, mash beans with a potato masher. Do not put in blender as you want them a little chunky and not smooth.
· Add mashed beans and all other ingredients to pot with onion and pepper, except for the buns. Cook over low heat until all is heated through, about 5 minutes or so.
Serve on buns, or open face on a slice of Ezekiel bread, with a choice of condiments: lettuce, tomatoes, more onion, non-sweet pickles or relish and mustard. Also good over whole grain toast, pasta or potatoes.
