I love homemade Sloppy Joes, not using the McCormick packets. Not a fan of the taste or flavor so I was willing to spend alittle time making a sloppy joe receipe even if it wasnt super quick to prep. I found this receipe and although it has a ton of steps to it, all the ingredients involved with this receipe is necessary to create the delicious taste! The only con is there are A LOT of ingredients that go in it which requires a lot of measuring and much more added time to make. I wouldn't call this a quick one to make but I can assure you if you can invest the time to make it, you won't be sorry! It has a ton of flavor and taste delicious! Also I never need to simmer it for 1 hour, thats a bit too long and I found it almost burned it to the bottom of the pan so 45min max is all you need to cook it!

Followed recipe exactly. It was the best sloppy joes I have eaten! My husband and son loved them. We will make these again.

Great! Follow recipe exactly.

The taste was WONDERFUL! However, I had to add a little extra brown sugar to temper down the acidity from the cider vinegar. I would recommend using half to three-quarters of the amount called for in the recipe.

I too used ground turkey instead of beef. I also used less water ( I substituted 1/2 cup of chicken broth) and added a box of frozen spinach. A great way to hide a veggie!

I made this with ground turkey, left out the sugar, vinegar & used less water. Let it simmer 30 minutes. Hubby didn't notice it wasn't made with beef. It tasted good & I'll make it again.
