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

Wonderful and very easy. I had lots of ketchup left over from a party, so I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm very glad I did, it's a keeper. My old recipe called for green peppers, which I don't always have on hand. Thanks for submitting it!

Added two small green peppers (chopped) fresh from the garden. Delicious!

I didn't think this would turn out but in the end it was yummy and I loved it!

I used red peppers instead of onion and didn't have any allspice so I left it out. I thought the flavor was good but added a little paprika, chipotle chili powder, and just a little cayenne.

Very tasty recipe. I halved it for my family of 4. The sauce tastes great!

These were great! I halved the recipe for our family of 5 (with younger kids) and it was the perfect amount.

My family absolutely loves this recipe. I make it at least once a month. It is great on hot dogs too!

I have made this recipe several times. I use to make Manwich, and my grown kids prefer this recipe and ask for it often.

I made this last night and it was great. I had to substitute regular yellow mustard instead of ground mustard because I was out. We had sweet potato fries with it. Even my 3 year old loved it!

Super yummy! Incredible - whole family loved it. Easy also. Much better than canned sauce mix. A little sweet and not too tomato-y.
