We didn’t have Sloppy Joes often when I was a kid, but when we did… oh man. I’m not sure how my mom made them, but I imagine most of the meal came out of a can. She’d serve them with pasta salad or macaroni and cheese (a full-fledged pastaholic to this day, my mom served most things with a side of pasta). Or if we were at my grandma’s, a side of potato chips. Not the healthiest of meals by any stretch of the imagination, but an awfully satisfying one! Mine’s pictured with my Five-Minute Sandwich Bread for an easy gluten-free bun, but for an AIP version, I suggest serving as a lettuce wrap or on a roasted sweet-potato round as an open-faced sandwich. Roasted broccoli or asparagus, or even a side salad, make for good companions!
Looking for more easy AIP recipes?
I know diet change can feel overwhelming. I started the autoimmune protocol at a time when only four other people were writing about it, and over the years, I’ve striven to give you the resources I wish I’d had when I got started. Not just recipes, but ways to implement them. My first ebook 28 Days of AIP is a meal plan that will help you get going (or get back on the wagon) with as little fuss as possible. With a variety of simple, delicious recipes, plenty of leftovers so you don’t spend all your free time in the kitchen, and shopping lists ready to go, all you have to do is follow the plan, then sit down and enjoy your meal! It’s available as a digital download for $9.99.
