Χά�ων Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Anyone have a tomato free sloppy joe recipie? Whenever I eat anything with tomato or tomato sauce in it I end up in severe pain for two days due to the acid. Much to my complete dismay. DS is crushed because his favorite foods have tomatos in it. I am working one recipie at a time to find suitable replacements. Thanks!

Momof3littles Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Could you do some kind of pureed red pepper type of base? Do the jarred roasted red peppers have a lot of acid? I think some might, so you would have to roast and then puree on your own I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 It's called different things...loose meat burger, is one I've heard. It's got beef broth, garlic, onions, seasonings. Anything you'd like really. Just brown the ground beef, with clothes on, because it splatters. Add garlic and onions. When those are done, add the broth and seasonings ans simmer.

KathyJo Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I just told the family that I had a recipe to try, but I might have to try it in secrecy and spring it on them unawares because it's weird. I was reminded that they caught, fried, and ate grasshoppers earlier this summer. Still, it's beets and pumpkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beets give it the right color. The pumpkin gives it the right texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um_2_4 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 What about cooking the meat/onions etc for the sloopy joes and adding the warmed up sauce "on the side"? Whoever wants can add and whomever doesn't can have a loose meat burger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever wants can add and whomever doesn't can have a loose meat burger. I have no self control. I will eat the sauce. My lack of self control is why the only thing sweet in the house is maple syrup.

Slartibartfast Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 If your son has trouble with acid...there is a diet on this website that is low in acid. http://www.ichelp.org/icdiet The website is for an illness but since it is a low acid diet I thought it might help. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reminded that they caught, fried, and ate grasshoppers earlier this summer. Still, it's beets and pumpkin. No kidding, I would have to make sure everyone was out doing something, leaving me with enough time to sneak the ingredients into the house and make this up without getting caught. So bizarre I might have to try it. Now off to check my calendar to see when I might have an open date where everyone else is busy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delirium Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 My kiddo hates tomatoes. I make monkey brains (Only way 4 year old kiddo would eat sloppy joes) by browning the beef, adding some worcestershire, dry mustard, dried onion and garlic, brown sugar, and a little molasses.

KathyJo Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 OK - if anyone is brave enough to try it, please come back and weigh in on if my family's taste buds are totally off. I plan on trying it. I've got a touch of arthritis in my hands, and some people argue that nightshades exacerbate arthritis. Every time I try to go tomato free to see if it helps, tomato sauce is what drags me back down. And did I mention that my husband and kids eat grasshoppers? So, they have no gastronomical stones to throw. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Out of curiosity, did going nightshade free help? I had mixed results. It seemed to help flares from being as bad but didn't keep flares from starting at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 http://www.adventuresofaglutenfreemom.com/2010/01/tomato-free-marinara-sauce/ This recipe is tasty. My family did not even know that it was "weird". I added meat. From Jean's link: " Regular beets just smell like regular dirt" FInally, someone who agrees with me! I've always described beets as tasting like "woody dirt." My kids, on the other hand, love them. (My father serves them at his house.) I neither eat nor cook beets (or lima beans). As the author of this recipe said, "I am done growing so I don't need them!" But since she and I feel the same way about beets, maybe I'll try the recipe!
