I have making this recipe since came out and it always delicious! I am making it again today ! Thank you Neelys for your hard work!
All I could taste was bbq sauce
Great recipe!! Because my husband and I love a little spice, I used 1lb of ground beef and a roll of Bob Evans hot sausage and add half a chopped onion with the peppers. Delicious!
Great and easy. End result really depends on the bbq sauce you use, so choose wisely! There’s no way this is 4 servings – it can easily feed 6, maybe more.
Best sloppy joe I’ve ever had! We didn’t have a green pepper, So made it without. Honestly so good. This is going in the rotation for sure!
Giving 5 stars right off the bat. I will make this tonight. The Neelys have never let me down!
Quick & Easy to make! Taste so good!! I didn’t add the hot sauce,peppers & forgot the garlic. Served them with tater tots. This is my new go to. You will never go back to canned sauce ever again!!
Awesome!!
This is a great recipe! I added a little more thick, Smokey BBQ sauce instead of the tomato paste and it was awesome. For a real Southwest twist, add some grilled corn! It was a hit!
Sloppy joes
