I've prepared these sandwiches for years. I've tried many sloppy joe recipes, but this one is the best by far. It also travels well for picnics or potlucks.--Eleanor Mielke, Snohomish, Washington

Awesome!! I have never had Sloppy Joes b/c of what was in them. This is the best recipe, my kids loved the cheese on it. I would totatlly reccomend it, very kid friendly!

Reviewed on Sep. 09, 2009 by justgottabezen

great quick meal... cheap, and pretty tasty too! I halved the recipe and left out the water. the only thing I wish s that it was a big saucier. I might just half the meat next time and keep the same sauce measurements
