I’ve made this recipe a few times. I have added a tablespoon of ketchup & a tablespoon of mustard along with a bay leaf. Always turns out very tasty!
Love this recipe
I hadn’t eaten sloppy joes in decades, but wanted to try to make some. I started with green peppers and onions from another recipe, but didn’t have the chili sauce it called for, so I sort of finished with this recipe. I added meat, tomato soup and didn’t have Worcestershire, so I added Heinz 57 sauce. Added a bit of oregano and mustard. They were good! But too sweet. I would eliminate the sugar next time (or perhaps add just a tiny bit)
Really good recipe! I tweaked it a bit more to our tastes, especially since I had 2.5lbs of ground beef. Added a can of tomato sauce, some onion powder, garlic salt, and pepper, added 2 more tbs of vinegar and added some ketchup. The base recipe is great, but you can certainly tweak it to your tastes! We will be keeping this one for sure!
I did add red onion to the? meat while it cooked. I also used a little more Worcestershire sauce and a little more Brown sugar. I loved how it turned out! Better then I expected for sure 🙂
I added some onion salt and mushrooms, plus I always use ground turkey instead of beef. I ran out of ketchup and needed a recipe without it. This was good. I’ll definitely make it again.
Very quick and easy recipe! Had everything at home already so no need for a trip to the store and it turned out great!
Kids liked. Added garlic powder
Less ground meat makes it saucier. Added a little more worcestershire and a little chopped onion and green pepper, yum.
Yummy! We like saucier joes, so we use 1 lb of ground turkey with a can of tomato soup and half the other ingredients for a healthiness factor. My husband puts pickles on his sandwich for a salty addition. And we make fries for a side. Definitely recommend!
Just made this..added some Parmesan. Love it
i used BBQ sauce instead of Worcestershire sauce and it tasted a little different, but all in all it was a good recipe
I like it as a base. I heated all ingredients and before serving I sampled it. It was a bit bland. I added some Sriracha chili sauce and a little mustard. Perfect!!
I have been looking for this recipe. It tastes so much like what we had in school. Most of the kids would ask for a second serving, they were that good! I made this for our nephew, a very fussy eater, and he came back for more. He even came back for the leftovers the next day! I love it. Will make again and again. The only ingredient I changed is the soup, I used the tomato bisque, my fave!
This was good…A keeper…
Very simple to make and tasty. I did add diced onion as well as red and green sweet peppers.
Overall it was a good recipe. Needed some additional seasoning I thought. So I added 2 cloves garlic, celery salt, 1 shallot, some ketchup, barbeque sauce, & a smidge of honey mustard dipping. I didn’t have any worcestershire sauce, so i used sweet baby rays barbeque instead. Overall it turned out pretty good I thought. Just needs something more..
A tad bland.
I had planned to only make half the recipe with one pound of ground beef for me and my husband. After I added half the soup concentrate, I decided that wouldn’t be enough sauce. So used the same amounts for the sauce for half the ground beef. Glad I did it that way – it was quite tasty. Will be making this one again…
Tasted just like I remember and how I thought a simple Sloppy Joe would taste! Added some garlic powder and onion powder and salt and pepper. Will be making again.
I was looking for my “first” homemade sloppy joe recipe. This is it – I add a bit of onion and garlic powder and green pepper but otherwise I follow the recipe to a tee and it’s FANTASTIC. No more manwich in this house….Thanks!
