Sloppy Joe

Method

1. Heat oil in a large frying pan or pot on the stove over medium high heat. Sauté onions until softened, add garlic and paprika and stir fry until fragrant. Add tomato paste, stir, and heat through.
2. Turn heat to high and add beef mince and leek. Cook until the beef has browned, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the Worcestershire sauce and carefully pour in the water, gently stir, and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil, remove the lid and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until the mixture has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
4. Mix through corn, carrots, and frozen peas to heat through. Test taste adding salt and pepper as desired.
5. Set aside half of the mince mixture to use in the shepherd’s pie later in the week. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge.
6. Heat buns according to packet instructions if desired. Serve sloppy joe with lettuce on the buns and topped with the mince or with lettuce on the side.
