Paleo Sloppy Joes

Making sloppy joes used to be hard, but with my easy whole30 recipe for Paleo Sloppy Joes, everyone eats happy and healthy!
Mathlete loves sloppy joes. Besides the one time I made them with turkey instead of beef, I don’t think I have ever gone wrong making sloppy joes for him. Of course, I am trying to stick to more paleo dishes so I needed to find a way to bridge the gap between Mathlete’s favorite and something I could eat. The result are these amazing Paleo Sloppy Joes.

Of course, a sloppy joe by definition would include a bun which would be totally un-paleo. I still make Mathlete’s with a bun but put mine on top of crispy white sweet potato slices for the perfect meal. I use this Paleo Sloppy Joes recipe for my whole30 meal plan during the week!
