Sloppy Joes Sandwiches
This homemade sloppy joes recipe is quick, easy and inexpensive. Brown sugar adds a touch of sweetness. In addition to rolls, the beef mixture is tasty over rice, biscuits or baked potatoes. – Laurie Hauser, Rochester, New York

Very good recipe! My boyfriend loved it! I did chopped onions and green peppers plus I doubled the recipe... I thought a bit too sweet , however my taste tester loved it! Thank you!
This recipe was fast and easy. I put a little less ketchup and used ground chicken instead of beef. Tasted good, in the future I'd maybe add some diced onions and garlic.
I've been sick a while, and had no energy for chopping anything like I usually do. I made it as is... Oh I did add a tiny bit of beefy onion mix. It is perfect. Just perfect! I can't wait till I feel better, and can chop all manner of yummy things to put in it!
The best sloppy Joes ever! I did add 1/4 c. chopped onion and 1/4 c. chopped green bell pepper and reduced the sugar. Love, love this!
This is a wonderful recipe.I usually use tomato sauce but this is so much better.I did use a small onion instead of the onion powder.
I wound up quadrupling this recipe because of the number of people eating, plus we wanted leftovers, and it turned out amazing! Even the two pickiest eaters I've ever come across had 2 & 3 sandwiches. The only 2 things I changed were I cut the salt down to 1/4 of what's listed (the original 1/2 tsp since I made so much), and added 1 tsp of ground pepper to cut down the sweetness a bit.Overall very easy to make and brought me back to the sloppy joes I had growing up.
YUMMY
Thanks for sharing this recipe. My old recipe calls for tomato soup, and since I had none, I looked here for a recipe that does not call for soup. This recipe worked out great. I did cut down on the brown sugar slightly. Also, I added diced onion to the meat when I browned it and omitted the onion powder. Thanks for the good recipe.
We were looking forward to eating this but were sadly disappointed. I'm glad that I read the reviews and cut the sugar in half. The vinegar in the ketchup overwhelmed the dish. If you love ketchup, you'll enjoy this recipe.
This was good but just not exactly what I was looking for. We did enjoy it and made as written.
