These are just delicious. The only thing I changed was that I added a little catsup to the simmering meat. It was wonderful, and my husband says this should be on our table often. Left overs make for a good lunch the next day too.

This recipe was pretty easy/fast to make and tasty -- seemed like it could have used more kick though, so I think I'll add in more chili powder next time.

Best sloppy joes we have ever had! Deleting all my other recipes for sloppy joes from my files!

This is a flavorful recipe! I used a red bell pepper instead of a green pepper and it came out very well.

YUMMY! My hubby said these were the best sloppy joes he's ever had. I guess no more Manwich for our family! They were really good. I omitted the cayenne pepper because we didn't have any on hand. So, to make up for that, I just added a bit more salt, pepper, and chili powder to the recipe. Boy were they good!

These were excellent, not like your typical sloppy joe because they're not as sweet. They remind me of the old chopped beef sandwiches. It's cheap,easy and very good.

A little too "hot" for my taste, so next time I may not put the pepper in it...or use celery instead of green onions. But my husband loved it!

I have the same recipe,but 2 stalks of cut up celery in it.I agree with the sugar and the mustard.

I liked this recipe because I could taste the beef -- it was not disguised with too many flavors. I can't remember enjoying a sloppy joe this much!
