Ellie Krieger's sandwich is a lighter take on the classic Sloppy Joe burger. She uses lean ground beef, sautéed with protein-rich red beans, tomato paste, and spreads the mixture on whole-wheat buns.

The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:

450 g lean ground beef
1 can small red or pinto beans, preferably low-sodium (drained and rinsed)
1 crushed jalapeño pepper
1 diced red pepper
1 diced onion
4 crushed cloves of garlic
1.5 cups tomato sauce without salt
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp. molasses
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard powder
3/4 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 whole wheat burger buns

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Add the beans, tomato sauce and paste, wine vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, salt and pepper, reduce heat to low, and simmer for another 5 minutes. Spoon 1/2 cup of filling onto each bun and serve.
