The first time I ever tasted a
sloppy Joe was at sleepaway camp,
and I remember loving it. (Ah, to
be young and completely clueless
about health and nutrition!) The
thing of it is, you can enjoy these
childhood favorites and not feel
guilty-it just takes a little bit
of tweaking to turn a nutritional
nightmare into something healthy.
In this case, these bunless
"Joe-matoes" are several cuts above
the average sloppy Joe for health
quality. They're low in fat yet
still have that "mouth taste" I
remember so well from childhood.
And by the way, they are meant to
be eaten sloppy! Chop up that
tomato and spoon it into your mouth
with the hot, faux-beef mix and
pickle. Go on, enjoy-that's what
napkins are for! The whole thing
tastes great and will definitely
satisfy the kid in you!
