The only change I made was to use red bell pepper instead of green. I actually made the topping ahead and split it into a few batches. Some I stashed in the freezer, and the rest I kept in the fridge. This made the meal come together super quickly. I just reheated the sloppy joe mixture in a disposable pan on the grill while I cooked the hot dogs. Absolutely perfect served on New England style buns.

My DH wasn't wild about it. He enjoys a simpler recipe.

Good stuff! Used it for sloppy joes as well, hence the name! We will make this again!

Where I'm from this is just hot dog sauce. Will try this one though. Maybe skip the cheese.

This is excellent! I added teaspoon chili powder and 15 oz can tomato soup. Such a quick and tasty recipe to put on hamburger buns also.

Made with Sabret Hot Dogs. Only one supermarket down here in the Big Bend carry them and they sell out fast. Wonderful Sloppy Joe recipe. Better than anything I had as a kid! I did the grilled onions and don't think you should leave them out.
