    Very good.. recipe as shown doesn't make much sauce, basically doubled the sauce. I used no salt or mustard and added a little A1 and extra worcestershire, shredded carrots and zucchini. Yummy and easy to camoflage veggies for my kids. - 3/28/12

    Had a serious craving tonight, and searched for sloppy joe recipe. This one seemed simple enough for a weeknight, but I had no catsup! Used red chili sauce instead, did not simmer as long as recommended, served open faced on sandwich thins. It was fabulous! - 4/12/10

    We just had these tonight and my family loved them! This was a very filling main course, great paired with raw veggies from the garden, and I know I won't be going to bed hungry tonight, which is a major goal of mine! Thanks for sharing! - 8/10/13

    This is how I make my sloppy Joes to and I use Brown sugar also not regular sugar. I do add diced green peppers when I have them in the house. Latelty Ihave been throwing in a special touch that everyone is raving about. I add about 1tps or just a little more of Sundried Tomatoes in Olive oil. - 3/1/13

    I like my sloppy joes a little less sweet than most, so I added some extra Worcerstershire sauce. Made extra of the sauce in general per the recommendation of some of the other comments here. Good move. - 12/1/11

    Used ground beef we had cooked the night before and just mixed up the sauce and stirred it up in a skillet for 5-10 mins on low. I am veggie but my girls sure seemed to like it! - 9/15/11

    I don't know what I did wrong but there was not enough liquid in this recipe. i ended up throwing a cup of coca cola into it to save it, but there was not enough to simmer even close to the time mentioned. Tasted ok, but will not make again. - 10/27/10

    Made this tonight for my parents and we all loved it! Definitely a recipe I will be using again in the future! I did use less vinegar than it called for and think it worked out well. - 7/23/10
