This is really terrible, and I mean just absolutely awful.
Bethany Beasley
Ree added the whole 4 Cups of beef broth to the pan, but the recipe says 3 1/2 Cups. Wondering if someone that made this recipe, what amount did you use? I would like to make for family but just dont want it to be too runny
Adam Goodman
Very good!

This dish did not appeal to my family at all. The dish tasted nothing like the sloppy joe taste were were expecting.
Michelle Rodriguez
My family and I love it! Very good and thank you!

Sometimes you see a recipe that sounds great, and you wonder will be be as good as it sounds?   This one is!!!!  Taste is excellent, texture is creamy and cheesy, easy to make, easy ingredients.  Loved it.

It was okay. Not crazy about the sweetness from the sugar.

I was easy but we were not fans of this one. I am really a from scratch cook on everything and I think my family is spoiled. This one just came off as very Hamburger Helperish which my family doesn’t like.  I don’t know to me it wasn’t horrible but my husband said the flavors just didn’t go well together.  The only reason I cook is for him and the kids and they didn’t like it. I guess these leftovers will go to the trash.

My family really enjoyed this!

Made this exactly as directed and we really like it, used 1/2 tbsp sriracha
