Healthy Zucchini & Spinach Sloppy Joe's


It's Zucchini time of year and we already have had about 10 from our plants so besides sautéing them, we had to figure out some new recipes. Matt wanted "Sloppy Joe's" so I had to figure out how to make that work with zucchini. 

Healthy Zucchini & Spinach Sloppy Joe's
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 Tb butter or EVOO
2 big handfuls of baby spinach chopped
1 can stewed tomatoes
dried onions
garlic powder
salt & pep
1 1/2 tomato sauce (I like Classico)
2 1b ground meat
soy & Montreal seasoning
Wheat Buns (we used the sandwich thins and they were... too thin, tasty though)
Parmesan for the buns

Cook the zucchini in the 1 Tb butter or EVOO for a couple minutes, then add the dried onion and spinach. Cook it for a bit to some water out. Add the stewed tomatoes, garlic, salt & pepper. Cook it down to get more water out. 

Cook the meat of your choice (we used beef) and season with some Montreal seasoning. Drain and add a couple dashes of soy sauce.  Toast buns with EVOO spray & Parmesan cheese.

Add the meat and sauce to the veggie mixture and mix. Spoon on to buns and enjoy!
