Add the ground beef, onion, and bell peppers in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the beef into crumbles and cook, stirring occasionally, until there is no pink left, about 8-10 minutes.
1 pound ground beef, 1 small sweet onion, 1 small green bell pepper
Drain any excess fat from the mix and add the taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin, stirring to combine well. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
1 ounce packet taco seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin
Add the tomato sauce, salsa, black beans, corn, and green chilies, and stir to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly but still saucy.
8 ounces tomato sauce, 1/2 cup salsa, 1 cup canned black beans, 1 cup canned whole kernel corn, 4 ounces diced green chiles
Stir in the fresh cilantro and serve on your favorite burger buns with your favorite taco toppings.
1/4 cup chopped cilantro, Buns and toppings of your choice

Recipe Tips:

Corn - Either fresh or frozen corn can be used in place of canned.
Spice Level - This recipe makes a mildly spicy Sloppy Joe. To reduce the level of spiciness, use a mild taco seasoning packet and do not add the green chilies.
Leftovers - If there are any leftovers, I suggest reheating the sloppy Joe meat in a pan with a little beef stock or water to help loosen it up.
Variations
- Also excellent with ground pork, turkey, or chicken!
- This would also be great for a filling for tacos, or topping for taco salad.
Storage - Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
