Recipe Ingredients
- 450g (1 lb) ground beef
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 240ml (1 cup) sugar-free ketchup
- 60ml (1/4 cup) water
- 2 tbsp brown monk fruit allulose blend (packed, to taste)
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
How To Make Low Carb Keto Sloppy Joes
- Optional step: If you want keto buns like in the picture, prepare this keto hot dog bun recipe in burger shapes. Do this first, as it takes the longest.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the beef: Add the ground beef and season with salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned.
- Add the sauce ingredients: Stir in the sugar-free ketchup, water, brown monk fruit sweetener, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
- Simmer the mixture: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Adjust sweetener to taste if needed.
- Serve: Enjoy over keto buns or in a bowl for a low-carb meal.
Recipe Tips
- Use the right ground beef: For the best flavor and texture, use 80/20 ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat). This keeps the meat juicy without being too greasy.
- Let it simmer: Simmering for at least 10-15 minutes helps the sauce thicken and blend the flavors beautifully. Don’t rush this step!
- Adjust the sweetness: The amount of monk fruit sweetener can be adjusted to your taste. Start with less and add more if needed.
- Don’t skip the mustard: It adds a slight tang that balances the sweetness and makes the sauce taste just right.
- Make it spicier: For extra heat, add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce to the mixture.
How To Store and Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Sloppy Joes cool to room temperature. Transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Once cooled, place the Sloppy Joes mixture in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, transfer to the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Reheat: Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the Sloppy Joes mixture in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
