Sloppy Joes

Hannah really likes this seasoned meat.  She will eat it straight up, or on a bun.  You can use the bun of your choice!

Makes 6 sandwiches

1 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/3 c. chopped celery (optional)
1/3 c. chopped green bell pepper (optional)
1/3 c. ketchup
2 T. gluten free oatmeal, chopped to quick size*
1/4 c. water
1 T. Coconut Aminos
3-4 drops Tabasco red pepper sauce

*I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oatmeal.  The pieces are little big though.  So I put it on a chopping board and using a  large chefs knife I chop through the Oatmeal, cutting it into smaller pieces that are more like the size of quick oatmeal.

Heat a 10 skillet over med heat.  Add ground beef and vegetables.  Cook and stir until beef is browned and vegetables are tender.  Stir in ketchup, chopped oatmeal, water, Coconut aminos, and red pepper sauce.  Reduce heat to low.  Cover and simmer 10 min.  Spoon onto the bun or your choice, or in Hannah's favorite way, straight onto a plate!
