NOTES & TIPS
(1) Ground Beef. I use 85% lean. If you use less than 85%, you may want to drain off some of the grease after browning to avoid an overly greasy dish. Don’t have beef? Use ground turkey.(2) Ketchup. I use ketchup with no added sugar by Heinz, which has 1 gram total carbs per 1 tablespoon serving. Other brands with low or no added sugar versions include Kroger and Simple Truth.
(3) Soy Sauce. I use regular soy sauce by Kikkoman. This is the main contributor to the large amount of sodium per serving; if desired, use low or reduced sodium soy sauce.
(4) Skillet. I use a 10-inch nonstick skillet. It's not necessary to pre-heat the skillet, and oil is not required.
(5) Serving. Serve while hot, optionally stirring in a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil for extra flavor. This makes 2 servings as a standalone dish or 4 servings if paired with side dishes. These Sloppy Joes are fantastic served in lettuce cups (use 1 head of butter lettuce) or turned into cornbread casserole (make Keto Cornbread Recipe, then transfer Asian Sloppy Joes on top). You can also serve with low carb sides like quick homemade coleslaw, store-bought kimchi, bacon kimchi cauliflower rice, or Asian cucumber salad.
(6) Leftovers. Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat using the microwave or a skillet on the stovetop until heated through.
