    I would not recommend using both the vinegar and mustard. Combined, they are too overpowering in the recipe. Next time I will use one or the other. - 4/23/13

    Used ground turkey, tomato paste, beef broth...instead of ground beef, ketchup, and water. Also used spicy brown mustard and added a tad more broth. Easy to make and smells yummy. Can't wait until eating time. Making roasted potatoes for our side. - 4/17/13

    Once I figured out what kind of mustard went in this (lol, yellow not dry of course!), it was delicious! I added a finely diced bell pepper, and my hubbs gobbled it right up! Perfect blend of sweet and tangy...Yum! - 2/25/11

    Excellent recipe. I always make mine from scratch, but I never used vinegar it was really good. I did use half the sugar and was still awesome - 1/23/11

    We needed to make dinner in a hurry, and had no manwich. We will never use that canned mix ever again! It's one of those recipes that you can memorize quickly and you have everything on hand. I also enjoy the fact that it's made from scratch and not from the can. - 7/8/10

    I used ground buffalo instead of the ground beef and used 1 TB of Splenda Blend Brown Sugar...when I plugged the ingredients into the Recipe Calculator it came out to 91 calories (10 servings). I hope it did it right! Anyway..these were great! My husband really liked them as well. - 4/6/09

    this recipe is great, since i could make tasty sloppy joe's without going to the store (i had the ingredients in my kitchen already). it does, however, use a lot of ketchup. it was easy to make and tasted great. i'd make it again. - 4/5/09
