The BEST Sloppy Joe Recipe

I read reviews and doubled the mustard and brown sugar and did not add the water since I had 2 8oz tomato sauces. Added BBQ spice I had on hand. Hubby loved it. I served mine on leftover cornbread as an open face. Tasty!

We didn't use any water and the consistency was just right

It was decent. Way too much tomatoe sauce and not enough brown sugar. It tasted more like a greasy tomato soup but next time I know not to add as much. This recipe is a good fixer upper.

added cumin and red pepper flakes

easy and had everything on hand. good but just no wow factor. had to add a few more spices to tweek the flavor. overall, easy and would make again but doctor it up for my family's taste buds

Good base for sloppy joes, but we found it, as written, a bit bland. I’ve doubled the mustard & Worcestershire sauce (salt and pepper to taste). Also added a bit of smoked peprika, as well. Great thing is the meat is cooked so you can season to taste as you see fit.

Sauce a bit bland - would increase everything but the tomato sauce in it! ..ok for sloppy joes, but there are defo better ones!

Too saucy

This was super easy and quick. It tasted good! I want to try to add a bit more flavor to the sauce next time but it was good as is.

- used Dijon with an extra splash of vinegar, worked well - added an extra tbsp of sugar and squirt of ketchup, maybe on the sweet side this time

I use Dijon mustard, double the brown sugar, and add a tbsp of umami seasoning.

I didn't have tomato sauce on hand, so I had to work from a tomato paste... so I added water and taste tested to adjust with brown sugar and mustard until it was just right. Delicious recipe aside from my false start lol.

One of my favorites now!

Quick and easy

Fresh apples from my tree. Pie was delicious.
