SIMPLY WONDERFUL LOW CARB SLOPPY JOES

Simply Wonderful Low Carb Sloppy Joes image

Our family has always enjoyed my mother-in-law's simple recipe for Sloppy Joes, but now that I am eating low carb, I needed to change it up. The changes I made seem to work very well and it is still very easy to prepare with easy to find ingredients. I make my own sugar free ketchup, but most stores carry them now. If I don't have some low-carb bread or a low carb tortilla, I will wrap it in a lettuce leaf or sprinkle it over my green salad for a heartier and tasty luncheon salad.
