Quick BBQ Sloppy Joes – Low Carb|Gluten Free
Do you miss sandwiches and constantly look for low carb sandwich options? Sandwiches are just so quick and easy. When you need an “easy button” for a quick meal, leftover Skillet Beef mixes with a super simple barbecue sloppy joe sauce, producing a hearty and bold, sugar free, gluten free, low carb sandwich in less than 10 minutes. And for all the diabetics out there, it won’t spike your blood sugar or insulin, either.
Remember our Basic Revolution-ary Rolls? With those premade in the fridge of freezer, quick low carb keto meals are no longer a dream. The low carb buns open the door to all types of sandwiches—hot, cold, grilled. One of our favorite quick low carb meals is the Quick BBQ Sloppy Joe. We love adding the barbeque sauce for a smoky hit of flavor that blends well with the tangy sweetness. As you eat it, it’s hard to believe it’s totally keto friendly!
A Word About Walden Farms
The use of Fluffy Chix Cook Revolution-ary Rolls brings bread, finger or hand food and convenience back to the low carb keto lifestyle. Can you imagine eating a low carb sloppy joe with your hands?For a crunch-tastic experience, adding a scoop of “instant” coleslaw gives crunch and a creamy tang. Using Fluffy Chix Cook’s Creamy Ranch with prepared coleslaw mix makes the salad prep even easier. (We do admit using fresh cabbage tastes better and probably has better nutrient content, but hey—if you don’t have the time or inclination…options exist. That’s all we’re sayin’.)
Try it and let us know. I bet you’ll say it’s the best 5 minute BBQ Sloppy Joe you’ve ever eaten!

Notes
I'm going to say it again. Lucky Leftovers are a dieter's best friend. This recipe literally takes less than 5 minutes to make when you have the beef mixture ready in the fridge or portioned and frozen. Feel free to double, triple, or even quadruple the recipe. The cooking time will be a little more and if I were making it for the family, I would likely use a nonstick skillet on the stove top instead of the microwave. But you're the boss!
You can also make the BBQ Sloppy Joe Sauce and keep it on hand. It will store in the fridge up to 1 week or freeze and reheat like a champ, up to 3 months.
Serving Ideas Serve with your favorite salad or coleslaw. Add the coleslaw to your sandwich for added punch and crunch!

Ingredients
BBQ Sloppy Joe Sauce
- 2 tablespoons reduced sugar ketchup—or homemade
- 1 tablespoon Walden Farms Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Walden Farms Thick & Spicy Barbecue Sauce
- 1 teaspoon unfiltered apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 2-4 drops concentrated stevia drops, to taste
BBQ Sloppy Joe Sandwich
- 3/4 cup Skillet Beef aka Meat Base 1
- 1 serving Basic Revolutionary Rolls-NSNS Diet
Instructions
- Microwave Method: Combine sauce ingredients in a microwaveable bowl (a cereal bowl works great). Cover with a saucer and nuke on high for 30 seconds. Stir and nuke for an additional 15 seconds. Stir. Add Skillet Beef. Stir to combine. Heat for 30 seconds until beef becomes hot.
- Skillet Method: Combine sauce ingredients in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook about 3-4 minutes until bubbly and thick. Add Skillet Beef and stir with a spatula until evenly coated and combined. Heat another minute or two until piping hot. Serve immediately.
- Slice a Revolutionary Roll into 2 pieces, horizontally (to have a top and a bottom). Spoon in Quick Sloppy Joe and eat. You can also pop a tablespoon of butter into a nonstick skillet over medium high heat and toast the insides of the roll prior to filling with the Sloppy Joe mixture. It will add a couple minutes of prep time and also add to the nutritional totals. So if you track that stuff, make sure to add the butter into your totals.
