 Step-by-step preparation

1. Preparing the Ground Meat 

Start with a large calorifiers’ cooking vessel, preferably a skillet or frying pan, placed over a medium flame. Introduce the beef or turkey mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes or until all the meat turns brown. Use a spatula to break up the mass of raw meat to allow for even cooking. If the raw meat turns out to be too fat, drain it off.

 

2. Adding Vegetables 

Place the sliced onion along with the chopped green bell pepper inside the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the aroma is pleasing.

 

3. Incorporating the Sauce Ingredients 

Bottled gluten-free ketchup is added to the mixture inside the cooking pot, along with tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce without gluten, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix all of the above ingredients.

 

4. Simmering the Sauce 

Then turn down the heat to low and allow the concoction to bubble for roughly 10 to 15 minutes. Make sure to give the sauce a stir every now and then to avoid burning. In the event that the sauce turns too viscous and pasty, dilute with a little water and incorporate into the sauce properly.

 

5. Adjusting the Flavor 

Take a spoonful of the prepared sauce and make sure it's fine. If necessary, season the sauce to taste. For example, one could sweeten it further with more brown sugar or add a little more vinegar for acidity.

 Suggestions for the Best Gluten-Free Sloppy Sauce

Purchase Quality Gluten-Free Ingredients: Always check that your ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and buns are gluten-free to minimize chances of cross-contamination.

Substitution of Protein Sources: Use lean protein in chicken or turkey ground meat to avoid adding too many calories to the dish and keep it healthy.

Make it Hotter: Sounds good; throw in a little chili powder or a few splashes of hot pepper sauce if you want to spice things up a notch.

Vegetarian Version: For a twist on the traditional recipe, use tofu or lentils instead of the meat filling.
