Beef and Bean Sloppy Joes #SundayFunday

This delicious and healthy version of the classic version is just as comforting and soothing as the recipe you've always used and it is ready in less than half an hour.  

Join the Sunday Funday Bloggers as we cook up quick meals during this busy season.......

My friend Rebekah of Making Miracles is hosting this month and invited us to join her saying "We're in the middle of Holiday season - prime time for hectic, busy, and overwhelmed. Share your 30-minute or less go-to meals to inspire all the busy cooks who might be thinking take out just sounds easier tonight!"

This is great advice as this time of year is laden with enough rich, calorie laden food without resorting to carry out when you are running short of time and energy.

Let's see what everyone cooked up in less than half an hour.........

• Beef and Bean Sloppy Joes from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Beef Steak Tips with Mushrooms and Balsamic Gravy from Amy's Cooking Adventures
• Black Eyed Peas With Punjabi Vadi from Sneha’s Recipe
• Minestrone Soup from Mayuri’s Jikoni 
• Pasta Fagioli for Christmas from Our Good Life
• Quick and Cozy Turkey Stew  from Making Miracles

I know that this time of year stresses me out big time.  I am so busy that I forget to breathe sometimes.  My emotions run rampant as I reminisce of Christmases past and those who are no longer with us and look forward to spending time enjoying and appreciating those who are.

Not to mention all the cookies and desserts being baked and offered everytime you enter the home of a friend or walk past your kitchen counter.  It is much easier to grab a cookie or 5 off the platter and call it dinner when you are stressed and busy.  So I am thrilled that Rebekah chose this topic and can't wait to try some of the recipes the others are sharing.

I made up these healthified Sloppy Joes after seeing the recipe in an issue of Eating Well magazine.  They add beans for the extra fiber and nutrition and they decrease the amount of ketchup used to cut down on added sugar.

No one will ever notice the nutritious changes that you made.  These are still ultra comforting and even more satisfying and filling thanks to the addition of those beans.  

Do yourself a favor and make up a pot of these sloppy joes.  In 20 minutes time, less time than it takes to order and get carryout, you will be sitting down to a wonderful dinner.  Take a deep breath, pour a glass of wine, and spend the next 1/2 hour just taking care of yourself.  

Happy Holidays my friends.
