Reviews
Just made this its very good it puts the canned manwhich to shame
I basically cut this in half because I only had one pound of hamburger. We like spice so I upped that a bit but this is great. We had it both as sandwiches and on baked potatoes
Very good. The second time I made it I replaced 1/2 c ketchup with tomato sauce ( just because I thought it was too ketchupy) .
We have tried various ways if making sloppy joes for the past 50 years and this was so amazing. 3 generations of us pronounced this a winner. We will likely cut down the brown sugar and add a bit of vinegar. Otherwise this is a winner.
Best sloppy joes ever!
Family favorite!!! Requested by my husband quite often. We add a couple squirts of Sriracha and granulated garlic (as well as the directed / necessary minced 5 cloves) as well. Delicious!!
Ree Drummond, this is the best, and easiest Sloppy Joe’s recipe…

Great ! I have been making for years. Every new fr II end that’s has dinner with us has asked for my recipe. I tell them to thank The Pioneer women. Red I live and make slot of your greats❤
Very good!! You will not be disappointed!
This was very good!
I used what I had. I ran out of ketchup so I added Asian Sweet Chili Sauce. Since that adds sweetness, I didn’t add any brown sugar.
I used red and orange bell pepper instead of green.
The hot sauce I used was sriracha.
Very yummy. I will definitely make this again. My family approved!
