Sloppy Joes!

So I said I was inventing some vegan, vegetarian, and meat burgers - yeah... they tasted delicious, but they were more of a... unsloppy, sloppy Joe to put on burgers. Bottom line, I couldn't figure out what to add to make them hold together more. So in place of the burgers, here's a quick sloppy Joe recipe that I'm proud to say I invented myself! This is probably the first with meat.


Ingredients:
Half of a large onion, diced
1 1/2 cups ground beef
2 cloves finely minced garlic
6 white mushrooms, sliced
1 diced tomato
156 ml can of tomato paste (or simply 150 ml of tomato paste if you can't get a can)
1 cup beef broth
1 small carrot, chopped
1 tablespoon paprika spice
Pepper flakes (optional)

Step 1: On medium-high heat, saute the onions, ground beef, and garlic. Once the beef is cooked, add the mushrooms and coat them evenly.
Step 2: Turn heat to medium-low and add the diced tomato, tomato paste, and broth. Stir to combine and cook for five minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 3: Add the carrot, the paprika, and the pepper flakes if you prefer. Do not cover, and continue to cook for 30-40 minutes or until the carrot pieces have become soft. Adjust your seasonings (add more salt if needed).
Step 4: Get big bread buns out, and ladle on some sloppy Joe!

This should serve about 3-4 people, depending on how much you eat.
