Ingredients
1 can (16 oz) spicy chili beans in sauce, undrained
1 lb extra-lean (at least 95%) ground beef
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 cup chopped onion
1 jalapeño chile, seeded, diced
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
8 whole wheat burger buns
Directions
Spray 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray; set aside. Pour chili beans into medium bowl. With potato masher or fork, mash about half of the beans; set aside.
In 12-inch skillet, cook beef, green and red bell peppers, onion and jalapeño chile over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.
Pour beef mixture into slow cooker. Add beans, ketchup, chili powder and pepper. Stir to thoroughly combine. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until heated through (165°F). Stir in lime juice.
Divide beef mixture among buns (about 1/2 cup each). Serve immediately.
Recipe Note
Canned chili beans, which are cooked pinto beans in a spice-rich sauce, are a high-fiber convenience food and boost the flavor of these sloppy joes. Choose from mild, medium and hot varieties.
This recipe can easily be doubled for a crowd. The 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker is still large enough. Add an extra 30 minutes to 1 hour to the slow cooker cook time.
With a heavy heart, we want to share that Good Measure is closing our doors starting December 31, 2024. Good Measure was a unique startup brand nurtured by G-Works, General Mills' corporate venture studio, dedicated to solving food-related problems through innovation. As part of our commitment to innovation and ensuring we're meeting the needs of our community, G-Works regularly reviews its innovation portfolio and evaluates investment decisions. Recently, after careful consideration, the difficult decision was made to no longer pursue Good Measure as a brand. Stock up on your favorite Good Measure products, available for a limited time at Meijer, Hy-Vee, Kroger, Publix, CVS, ShopRite, Sprouts, Albertsons and Safeway, while supplies last.
Although our journey ends here, we’re forever grateful to you. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your wellness journey!
