Ingredients
· 1 pound extra-lean ground beef
· 1 onion, diced
· 4 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 jalapeno, minced
· 1 red pepper, diced
· 1 can small red beans or pinto beans, preferably low sodium drained and rinsed
· 1 1/2 cups no-salt-added tomato sauce
· 2 tablespoons tomato paste
· 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
· 1 tablespoon molasses
· 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
· 1 teaspoon mustard powder
· 3/4 teaspoon salt
· Freshly ground black pepper
· 8 whole-wheat burger buns
Directions
Brown the meat and the onion in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, breaking up the meat into crumbles as it cooks. Pour the drippings out of the pan and discard. Add the garlic, jalapeno, and red pepper and cook 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes more. Place a half-cup scoop of the mixture onto each bun and serve.
