Reviews
This is a very good recipe, but to make what I grew up in Cleveland knowing as “real” Sloppy Joe’s, I added a tablespoon Worcestershire, a 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, and a cup each of diced red peppers, sweet onions and celery.
Good
Halved the recipe and eyeballed the measurements. My 9 year old, picky eaters, twin boys loved it — both ate 2! Forgot to add salt but noone noticed. I thought the brown sugar and ketchup are great!
The taste was good, but after straining the meat several times, I still couldn’t get the grease out. Served to others and received no compliments at all. Probably would not make again.
we all really liked it. I followed the ingredients of the sauce BUT did double the sauce. I like thick saucy Joe’s. it was very flavorful yet simple. I didn’t have to chop anything up. my husband and I usually like to discuss about tweaking recipes while eating. he said he wouldn’t change a thing
7 15 15 … http://allrecipes.com/recipe/233131/pork-rites-taverns/ … Well, maybe a pound here is less than the first reviewers. Mine was soupy. I used half the meat – so, essentially, doubling the sauce (except for the salt) as all previous reviewers suggested. I added a half pound cooked, crumbled Italian sausage to thicken it up. It helped. 🙂 This is a slightly tangy sauce, which I usually don’t “go” for; but it was so subtle here, I liked it. ‘Also don’t usually try ketchup (as a key ingredient) recipes – ‘Couldn’t detect it. Nice! I sauteed onion & garlic first then completed; thickened with cornstarch, a t & a half. I’d add less water rather than thicken; ‘can always add it if it’s needed. As for the Italian sausage addition, I liked it; but wouldn’t go out of my way for it.
Absolutely needed more sauce. I added some cayenne pepper and minced onions. Used half ground turkey and half ground pork.
Yum.. I loved this. I did also double the sauce and even so, don’t expect this to be saucy like a sloppy joe. I love ground pork and this was a great way to enjoy it
I tried this recipe and it was a hit with my family. The only thing I did was double the sauce part, add a chopped onion, and also added 1/4 tsp of chipotle cayenne pepper. It was amazing!
