Description

Whole30® version of those great sandwiches from your childhood. Garnish with green onions.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
¾ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt
5 dates Medjool dates, pitted
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed

Directions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
2. Reduce the heat to medium and add green pepper, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, parsley, and salt. Mix well.
3. Meanwhile, bring 2/3 cup of water to a boil in a small pot and add the dates. Boil just long enough to soften the dates, 30 to 60 seconds. Remove the dates from the pot. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid.
4. Place the dates into a food processor or blender with tomato sauce and tomato paste; blend well.
5. Add pureed date mixture plus reserved cooking liquid to the beef.
6. Prick a potato several times with a fork or knife. Microwave on High power until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
7. Serve Sloppy Joe mixture on top of potatoes.
