     loved it! I used extra lean ground turkey instead and added a tsp of cinnamon as well as some other spices. My one complaint is it tasted too... ketchup-y. Next time I would use pasta sauce or tomato sauce instead. 105 calories a serving is not bad at all! Served on some sandwich thins! - 5/8/12

     Incredibly easy and tasty! Better than what you get in a jar or can and almost as fast-great recipe, thanks for sharing! - 2/20/09

     I actually got a hug from my 9 year old for dinner tonight. This was really good. I used tomato sauce instead of ketchup and will keep this recipe for future use. - 2/21/08

     This was very good and the 1/2 cup serving size is too much for the size whole wheat bun I use, so I get to have 1/4 cup for lunch and 1/4 cup for dinner. I use a piece of whole wheat bread for lunch. - 1/17/08

     I divided the original recipe into 3rds, I only had 1 lb. of hamburger on hand. Preparation was quick & easy. Tasted scrumptious--better than any canned, or packaged envelope mix that you can buy at the store. My husband ate several sandwiches, & I could have easily went over my 1 serving. Yummy!! - 8/3/07

     Hubby said it tasted just like the package kind, but for me it had a bit too much salt. - 7/5/07
  • KATMCGRATH
     very good taste! I used wine vinegar and mustard with seeds for a 'gourmet' flavor, would definitely make again. - 6/29/07

     I just read the ingredients in Manwich and couldn't bring myself to order it. That's why I'm looking for a recipe. This sounds good. I will try it, but use Truvia in place of sugar. - 2/15/19

  • SOHKAT7
     In a pinch I didn't mind this. But wasn't like manwich at all. I ended up doing a third of this recipe and adding some tomato sauce and still that didn't help. In the end kinda tasted like a hamburger/cheeseburger slider. It wasn't a bad flavor. But I thought I could get a little healthy with it and - 9/14/18

     So good! I followed the recipe exactly except that I had to use 80/20 ground chuck. I would definitely make again! Now, I never have to buy the Manwich one! :) - 6/27/16
  • GALSMILEY7
     These are terrific and so easy!!! My picky little girls even loved them! They are so much better than store-bought and I will only make them this way from now on. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!!! - 4/16/12

     Delicious! I used dijon mustard instead of normal...Everyone loved it! - 11/24/10
  • KIZQUIERDO
     This is an easy go-to recipe, especially when you're running late or just plain tired when you get home from work! It was the first time my kids ever had a sloppy joe and it was a big hit. I actually mix half the lean beef with ground turkey & use low sodium worcester, still very good! - 12/14/09
  • AJEHLY
     These were wonderful! The only changes I made were that I did not add the sugar, I used 2 Tbsp of red wine vinegar, and I used dijon mustard. - 10/9/09
