My grandchildren love these sandwiches. I like this recipe because it can be made ahead of time and can also be put in the slow cooker. I've found it freezes well, too.—Patricia Ringle, Edgar, Wisconsin

I made this for a large gathering and it was a hit! Very tasty and easy to make. This will be my go-to recipe from now on.

Loved this recipe! My family does not care for green peppers, so this recipe was perfect! Even my daughter, who rarely eats red meat, loved it!

This will replace our other Sloppy Joe recipe. It really has a great taste. I added a dash of nutmeg and a green pepper, along with a tad bit more chili powder.

I've been making sloppy joes for years using the recipe I received from my mother-in-law. I've been reluctant to use it since it calls for a can of tomato soup, and I've been trying to avoid corn syrup. I used ketchup that does not contain corn syrup, so I wondered if that would matter. It didn't matter. This recipe turned out excellent, and it will be the recipe I use from now on. Don't hesitate to try it. It's great.

Easy and very tasty. I too added a few green peppers - I made enough to freeze, which is a nice time saver.

Really good! Not too sweet, made ahead and kept warm for a few hours in crock pot. Added diced celery and green pepper.

Excellent sloppy joe recipe. Family keeper. We served this on homemade hamburger buns and they were a real treat.
