Zucchini "Sloppy Joes"

4-6 servings
25 mins

What you need:
3 cups organic dried kidney beans (or used canned) (OR Turkey, ground beef for a MEAT meal)
1 diced small onion
1 diced small organic red pepper
3 zucchininis (these vary in size I had small organic ones about 10 inches each less then 2 inches thick)
1 can of organic diced tomatoes no salt
1/4 cup organic ketchup
2 tbsp spicy mustard
3 tbsp organic BBQ sauce
1tbsp honey
1 tbsp garlic powder
1tbsp chili powder
2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup or less diaya cheese (soy free/dairy free) (or any type of shredded cheese)

To Prepare:
I always use dried beans they are cheaper! so I just put them in the crockpot on low overnight in water and they are nice and soft in the am! Get organic too they are much more rich in color and flavor. Drain.

Cut zucchini's lengthwise, brush with olive oil, garlic powder and salt. place face down on a pan and bake at 395 for 20 mins.

Sautee the onions and peppers in extra virgin olive oil till golden brown.




While cooking onions prep your sloppy joe sauce. Add can of diced tomatoes, BBQ, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, honey & chili powder to food processor and blend well.







Add the beans and the sauce to the onions and peppers. Cook sloppy joe mixture on low to mix the flavors.







Check on the zucchini, it should be soft all the way thru, skin and all. Take a fork and run lengthwise few times to loosen up the seeds. Scoop them out and fill the boats with the sloppy joe mix! (or use your favorite buns) sprinkle lil cheese on top and ENJOY!
