CHEESY SLOPPY JOES
1/2 - pound lean ground beef (or turkey - 7% fat or less)
10 oz. - package of frozen vegetables
1 1/3 - cups water
6 oz. - can tomato paste
1 - package sloppy joe seasoning mix
3 - whole wheat hamburger buns, split
6 - slices of fat free cheddar cheese
1. brown meat in a large skillet - use spoon to break it up - discard drippings
2. stir in mixed veggies, water, tomato paste, and seasoning mix; bring to a boil. reduce heat and simmer - stirring - until thickened, about 10 minutes.
3. meanwhile, preheat the broiler. place buns cut side up on a broiler rack and broil 3 inches from the heat until toasted (1-2 min.). top each bun half with 1 slice of cheese and broil until the cheese is melted - about 1 min.
4. spoon 1/2 cup of the sloppy joe mixture on top of each bun half and serve (open face style)
