Sloppy Joe Mix Recipe

From Donna Musser of Pearl City, Illinois comes a vine version of an old standby - sloppy joes made with pumpkin! She also sprinkles cloves, nutmeg and chili powder into the mix while it cools for extra zest. "The sandwiches taste good with dill pickle slices on the side," she points out.
