Notes
Substitutions
Bison- If you don't have ground bison, you can use ground beef.
Buns- I like to use Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free buns or Dave's Killer Bread buns but any kind of bun will work.
Green bell pepper- You can use any color of bell pepper in this recipe.
Tomato paste- You can use tomato sauce in place of tomato paste.
Coconut aminos- If you don't have coconut aminos you can use regular soy sauce or gluten-free soy sauce.
Honey- You can use maple syrup, coconut sugar, or regular sugar.
Smoked paprika- Regular paprika will work great.
Avocado oil- You can use olive oil.
Storing and reheating
Store any leftover sloppy joe mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
You can reheat your leftovers in the microwave and add them to a fresh bun.
