Prepare the vegetable mix

   Pulse the ingredients in a food processor until they are minced. Alternatively, very finely mince the onion , carrot , green pepper , celery , and garlic with a chef's knife.

   onion: 1 (small), carrot: 1 (large), green pepper: 1/2, celery: 2 (ribs), garlic: 2 cloves
2. 2

   It’s very important that there are no huge chunks in the final sloppy joe mix, so if you don’t have a food processor, take your time while chopping them—do it in advance if you want. Just store the chopped veggies together in a covered container in the fridge.
