Chili Sloppy Joe’s with Homemade Coleslaw

Depending on the route you choose, this can be a dead simple 5 minute meal if you grab the coleslaw from the deli, but still fairly easy if made from scratch.

Ingredients

Coleslaw and dressing:
2 tablespoons malt vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup plain 3.5 % yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon honey
Pinch of salt and pepper
1 ½ cups green cabbage (grated)
1 ½ cups red cabbage (grated)
1 cup carrots (grated)
1 cup red pepper (thin sliced)
Sloppy Joe mix:
500g lean ground bison or beef
1 can vegetable chili or about 2 cups if homemade
1 small tomato (diced)
4 buns

Directions

If you choose to make the coleslaw from scratch, which is well worth the trouble, it is best to make it up the day before as the veggies will soften nicely overnight in the dressing.
Mix dressing in a mixing bowl until just combined.
Toss the cabbage, carrots and red pepper and then toss with the dressing and refrigerate overnight or set aside if using immediately.
Preheat a large pan on medium heat. Add a little oil and then the bison. Fry until lightly browned and almost cooked.
Add the chili and tomato and continue to cook until some moisture has evaporated and mixture is ‘sloppy’. About 10 minutes.
Serve on a toasted or fresh bun, top with coleslaw and get messy.
