Sloppy Joes

Ingredients

• lean ground beef (allowed amount)
• 1 can tomato sauce
• 1 garlic Clove chopped
• 1/2 yellow onion chopped
• 1 eggplant

Instructions

• In a warm pan add garlic and onions once they've simmered a bit, until the onions are soft
• Add the beef to the mixture
• Break it up into small pieces like you would do for tacos
• When the meat is almost cooked through, add tomato sauce and mix together
• Bring it up just to boiling
• lower the temperature and let it simmer together for about 10 minutes
• While it's simmering, taste it, add whatever spices you would like. Typically I add some salt, oregano, and parsley. Fresh is best, but the dried stuff works too.
• While it's simmering, cut off 2 1 inch thick slices of eggplant, season with salt and pepper and toss it under the broiler until the edges brown.
• Take eggplant and place on dish, pour meat mixture over it and VOILA...sloppy joes!
