hcg sloppy joes
by diana vandoorn
serves: 4
  4.5 oz protein, 1 carb, 1 veggie
Ingredients:
  1   medium onion, finely chopped
  1/2   bell pepper, diced
  2   garlic cloves, minced
  1 can   no salt added tomato sauce
  1 tsp   Whey Low© Gold or Splenda
    Cayenne Pepper, to taste
    Water, for sautéing
Directions:
  Sauté onion and bell pepper in about 1 or 2 Tbl water until almost clear.
Add garlic and sauté for a couple more minutes.
Add tomato sauce, TVP, Whey Low/Splenda brown sugar, and cayenne to taste.
Turn down and simmer 5 minutes until TVP is soft. Refrigerated TVP will already be soft, so you are just simmering to marry the flavors & thicken the sauce.
Serve on ½ whole wheat bun.
ENJOY!!!


* Tip: One tomato sauce brand that fits within the guideline is: Hunt's Tomato Sauce No Salt Added. One TVP brand that fit within the guidelines is: Bob's Red Mill Brand TVP. If there is a brand that you like better, please choose one that is lower in sodium. These are only options, not the only ones you can use.


∞ This recipe is not for everyday use and be sure to drink plenty of water to counteract the sodium content.


∞ Tip: If you wanted to make this non-vegetarian, you could use 4.5 oz cooked, ground turkey breast.
