Check out her veggie-packed, nutrient-filled, quick-to-make sloppy Jane stir-fry recipe for a delicious, simple, and easy recipe that your family won’t even realize is healthy! You can swap out that lean ground beef for lean ground turkey for an even healthier meal—finally a dish that everyone will love!
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups bagged broccoli cole slaw
- 2/3 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp brown sugar (not packed)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- 5 oz raw extra-lean ground beef (4% fat or less)
- Dash of salt
- Dash of black pepper
- Dash of chili powder
- Dash of paprika
DIRECTIONS:
1. Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add broccoli slaw and 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook until fully softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Uncover and, if needed, cook and stir until water has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix all remaining ingredients except beef and seasonings.
3. Transfer slaw to a medium bowl, and blot away excess moisture. Remove skillet from heat, re-spray, and return to medium-high heat. Add beef and seasonings. Cook and crumble for 4 to 5 minutes, until fully cooked.
4. Finally, add the tomato mixture and slaw to the skillet and cook and stir until hot, about 2 minutes. Serve warm.
5. Enjoy!
