Hodie's Sloppy Joes

I basically followed the recipe and it was pretty good, just a tad too sweet. I also threw in a clove of garlic with the onion, some red pepper flakes, and a splash of worsheshire sauce

My wife is always ribbing my about my cooking, not after this dish. She is very finicky about her food but she wanted seconds and was disappointed that the kids had finished it off. I highly recommend it. I made it just as the recipe shows and topped with some shredded cheddar cheese and microwaved for 30 sec.

My only addition to this recipe was Durkee french fried onion rings as a topper! My kids don't like onion bits in their food so we us this in it's place for all sloppy joe recipes.

I came across this when I was looking for a quick & easy recipe since I was out of the canned stuff. Oh my, it is absolutely delicious, easy to make and my family loved it. I will never buy the canned stuff again. Thank you for sharing :)

A perfect simple recipe!I made it exactly as described and added green peppers. I will stick to this combination from now on. You can take the base which is fantastic and add any fix ins you need. Also if you don't add peppers, try a splash of bbq sauce for a kick.

My husband LOVED these and he hates the canned stuff. My three year old loved it too, and HATES veggies. He ate every bite!!! For my husband, I added some chopped jalapeno, and he thought it was great. :)

Quick and easy...little short on the flavor side. Added a little Worchestershire sauce.

This was very good and very easy. I did add mustard for our taste, which everyone liked.

after trying this there ain't no way i'll ever use manwich or packaged stuff again

I added celery with the onions, seasoned with a bit of worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.

We really liked this sloppy joe recipe. I did add a clove of garlic and a dash or Worcestershire Sauce, as suggested by others, and it was great! Simple and fast, too!

Good as is, almost exactly what I was looking for - a simple, basic sloppy joes recipe. But when I tasted it while cooking, I decided to add 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce. Then it was perfect. I made a half batch, so for those making a full batch, you may want to add 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce instead.

Excellent

This isnt complicated but its good. I made taco salads and had soem unseasoned ground beef leftover so I made it into these to have something on hand for my family to eat. I did add a very small squeeze of rooster sauce and some garlic. Very easy simple and good and I always have this stuff on hand. Excellent.

I have another sloppy Joe recipe and I was missing some of the key ingredients so I went to my favorite website and found this one. Simple and it was good. I made a few changes. I added about a tsp. of fresh minced garlic (in the jar) and added about a teaspoon of lawry's season salt. I thought it was missing something and that seemed to help. My family thought it was good and that’s what matters the most.

Came Out Amazing, My Family Loved Them! Only Difference Was That I Added 1 Tablespoon Of Dark Chili Powder, and Yummy! Never Will I Buy Canned Sloppy Joes Again! ;)

This was very good. Was wanting sloppy joes and didn't have any Manwich but I had everything in my pantry for this. My daughter doesn't like green peppers so is always making a face if I make sloppy joes. She's a very picky eater and gobbled this up. I wish I'd read the other ratings and added the french fried onions. Will do that next time!! Thanks for an easy and economic meal since this is all stuff I always have on hand!!

'More info than an actual review: I only buy 15oz cans tomato sauce, & didn't want to use ketchup & brown sugar. I used the larger can & 3T brownsugar & it was sweet enough. I don't like the tang so much of vinegar so I didn't add it, but did add mustard & worcestershire. Used half turkey, half beef. 'Didn't expect anyone to like it that much - except E - & he did. :)

Great base, with an ability to tweak as your mood goes. I liked the base recipe but was in the mood for something smoky so I added just a Tablespoon of bbq sauce. Turned out great. Next time I want to try the mustard and durkee onions.

5 after adding spices & cutting down on sugar.

Just made this for dinner last night and WHAT A HIT!!!! My picky husband had 3 servings, which is very rare. After it was cooked I caught myself tasting it over and over again. I did substitute ground turkey for the beef, added some garlic/mushrooms and used splenda brown sugar substitute. A+++++++

Wow! This was delicious!! I loved the flavor. It was moist and I will probably make this again. I loved it!! I wanted seconds, but I couldn't because of my restricted diet and also because there wasn't any left. Even my son ate all of what was on his plate!

Even my husband who doesn't like sloppy Joes liked this. The second time I used blackberry jam in place of the brown sugar -- very tasty!

Love this recipe!! It has replaced my other go-to sloppy joe recipe. I made it exactly as written with the exception that I added a little more ketchup and brown sugar. I also added a little onion powder, garlic salt and black pepper. Yum!!

Great, basic family comfort food. The only change was I added 1TBSP of spicy brown mustard.

I selected this recipe because I was short on ketchup. They were very good and simple to prepare. I do think it needs a splash of worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper. thanks for sharing!

Hubby REALLY liked these. I thought they were really good too. Sweet and tangy. Not at all like I expected, it wasn't bland at all. Not spicy, but is a great base for adding all the extras you like to personalize it. I added about 6 good shakes of Frank's Red Hot sauce and served this on toasted buns with dill pickle spears. I did cook mine for 50 minutes, covered the first 40. Thanks, this was good, we enjoyed these for lunch.

Very Good! My husband is allergic to onion, but I left it out and it tasted great! I would definitely eat it again

I was quite skeptical while preparing this recipe. But, they were really good. Lots of flavor, even mu husband who hates sloppy joe's was impressed.

Quick, easy, and good. Replaced ketchup with BBQ sauceand added minced garlic. This is a regular in our house.

Everyone in my family loves this recipe; have made it twice and will make in the future!

I made this for the first time ever and my husband and I loved it. It smelled great while cooking and even better once it was done. I topped it with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. I'll definitely be making it again.

My husband and I liked this very much. If you like Manwich, you'll probably like this as the flavors are similar. I was nervous at first because I'm not a big ketchup eater and at first the "gravy" tasted all ketchup-y. But I added a dash of garlic salt and after it simmered for a while, the flavors all blended and it was really good!

Yummy! I had to make some changes based on what was in the cabinet...instead of onion, tomato sauce and ketchup, I used a jar of Harry & David pepper and onion relish that I needed to use and a can of tomato paste. Gave a nice little kick to the sweetness. I'll definitely make this again!

This was great and easy, I did add some garlic powder and a bit of mustard. It was a hit i was dissapointed there wasent any left for my lunch the next day thanks for a keeper

Fantastic, quick and easy to make. Everyone loved it.

This was very good. I used a sprinkle of green stevia in place of the brown suger and dry mustard instead of prepared. We added salt and pepper to taste, as well as some italian seasoning to the meat and onions. This recipe is great for an easy meal. Thanks!

We followed the recipe exact with exception of adding a little olive oil to the pan with the turkey and onions. My daughter said it was her favorite sandwich ever!

I had already made this once and found it too sweet by far for me. The second time I made it I left out the ketchup, added another 1/4 c. tomato sauce, doubled the vinegar, reduced brown sugar to 1T, added a chopped green peppe, 1T of prepared mustard and 1 t. of minced garlic, seasoned with 1t. salt and 1/2 t. pepper. I realize this is a whole different recipe, but I did want to say I think the original recipe is an excellent starting point for customizing sloppy joes to your taste. I appreciate using it as a starting point so thank you for posting.

I like it! I'm making it again.

Excellent recipe. Definitely take the full 20 minutes for it to simmer. Also I added some finely chopped green pepper and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Next time I might try Sriracha Ketchup instead of plain.

This was awesome. Husband loved it too. Since I didn't have tomato sauce, I used Rotel tomatoes with green chilis and added more ketchup. Also used red wine vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar and added garlic powder and worchestershire sauce. Sweet and spicy - yum!

My grandson loves sloppy joes and this recipe was very good.

The sloppy joes were wonderful , reminded me of the ones my Mother made ...........soooooooo good

Very good and easy to make. I thought it was a bit too sweet. Would cut back on brown sugar next time.

Turned out great! I made this for a potluck at work. All I added to the recipe was diced onions and green pepper and cooked it in a slow cooker. Needless to say, there was no leftovers.

It was better then the can! I love this recipe, its delicious! You should try it Mom :)

I loved it however my boyfriend did think that it tasted too sweet. I have way more of a sweet tooth so I didn't mind. Afterward we've been making it with less brown sugar.

super easy to make and good taste

This is an easy and tasty recipe. I love it too, since it's something that my kids and my husband will eat.

These are just okay. I added a lot of other ingredients after tasting them to get them to my liking.

Easy to make with ingredients I had available. Pretty good taste but not the best.

So much better than the packets. Definitively a keeper!! Thank you

Simple, quick, easy, and really tasty! This recipe is great as is, and definitely way better than the canned stuff. As others have suggested, I like to dress it up a little with some chopped green peppers, a couple dashes of Worchestershire and Louisiana hot sauce. "Fancy!" I know :)

This was quick and we liked it. The only change I will make next time is to leave out the vinegar, I did not care for the bite it gave. Thanks for sharing.

Much better than Manwich. I added some fresh garlic, diced bell pepper, and some red pepper flakes. I did cut back on the sugar by 30% due to the remarks about it being a bit sweet. I will definitely be making these again.

Very Good! My family is picky about sloppy joes and they really liked these. I will make these again. Thanks

No changes Yes I will make it again

Way too sweet. I prefer my usual recipe but I was low on ketchup so tried this instead. I ended up adding a tsp of Worcestershire and a 2nd tbsp of vinegar to balance the sweetness. Also added little salt and a splash of barbecue sauce. Not bad with the changes but I think it would have been better with at least half of the brown sugar left out.

Husband and I loved these sloppy joes. I followed the recipe, but also added about 1/2 cup diced yellow pepper and some mined garlic. Very yummy. Will definitely make again.

Have made this twice. Do not like sloppy joes sauce from a can. I did add about 1-2 teaspoons relish. This is an answer to a quick meal. Very good.

Changed the recipe to 40 servings. Only added a sparse amount of the brown sugar. And some people still thought it was a little to sweet.I loved it!

Yummy! Quickly comes together and would be an easy weeknight supper. Even my three year old gobbled it up. Thanks for a new addition to my regular meals. We used ground turkey and it's very tasty.

I added green peppers. An easy recipe to make.

My man is pretty particular about his sloppy joe's so when I used this recipe and he told me it was the best he ever had 2x, I knew this would be a permanent recipe for our home.

This is my go to Sloppy Joe recipe. I found it a Tab to sweet as well so I cut the brown sugar to 1 TBS, added 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce.

My kids loved this recipe. They asked if we can have it every week.

Was delicious! I doubled the sauce recipe including the brown sugar. I would put less sugar in next time because it became too sweet and i had to add hot sauce and salt. I also added some red bell peppers. Overall, it was really good.

This recipe was very easy with things on hand - but it just didn't have the right flavor - the apple cider vinegar flavor was just too strong - even after simmering.

yum

My wife and I made this recipe for her work party. We reduced the brown sugar to 1 Tablespoon because we made a small batch the weekend before the party and thought it was a little sweet for us. She received many compliments on the Joes at the party. We love it too. Kicks the butt of the canned brands. Easy and fun to make and ooooh soooo goood. Thank you for this recipe. Your Grandma had it goin' on.

I will never use can mix again! Delicious! Has. Mild sweetness to it but not overly sweet. I just added some pepper. Next time I might add green peppers.

Good recipe...I added a couple cloves of garlic, squirt of dijon, a shake of worcestershire sauce. Will make again with or without my added ingredients. My family enjoyed the Joes as did I!

Followed this to a T..... We don't buy the pre-made stuff anymore!

Awesome Sloppy Joes. A crowd pleaser.

This was a great recipe. I usually just pop open a can of Manwich but after trying this simple and delicious recipe I'm hooked. This is my new go-to sloppy joe recipe.

Loved it! I like it so much that I've 3 times in the last 2 weeks

This is the best ever, I have made it several times and everyone loves it.

Very tasty and easy to make. I added a little pickle relish as an added ingredient. Will definitely make again.

It was fast and very easy to make but I would have to say it was just okay. My kids didn't really like it either. I thought it was missing something. Thanks for sharing.

I added garlic to the beef and onion mixture and a splash of worchestershire sauce while everything was simmering as I don't like really sweet sloppy Joes. The worchestershire sauce helped cut the sweetness and added a nice flavour.

This was good, however, I did make some changes based on other people's reviews. I added fresh garlic and omitted the onion because my son will not eat anything with onions in it. I added some onion powder, fresh ground pepper, a pinch of red pepper flakes and some Worcestershire sauce. I topped the sandwiches off with French Fried Onions (for those in the family that like onions). Turned out delicious this way.

Very good. Missing something according to our taste. We added 1/3 tsp of groud chili peppers, and that seemed to "spice" it up a bit.

Nice & easy recipe. We would have given it 5 stars but had to add a few things to it. That said, it's a nice base recipe that can be easily personalized to your own taste.

There was no flavor to this recipe at all. I have tried many different recipes for sloppy joes and this was my absolute least favorite.

Just okay... but to be fair used grnd turkey and I didn't have catsup. Since it was a bit bland... I Added chopped garlic and a teeny tiny bit of BBQ sauce and hot sauce . i prefer to make this with condensed tomato soup.

Made it according to the recipe and it was excellent. Never again will I use that canned stuff. Served it with coleslaw and fries.

Super easy and quick. Bland, though.

I used the ingreds except for didnt have tomato sauce instead I used 1/2 cup marina sauce and 1/2 cup salsa .And I put tex mex ontop of it all...Its a good way of using up the stuff in fridge...It was so good...You cant go wrong in making sloppy joes thats for sure!!!Nothing wrong with adding more ingreds to what it calls for!!!

I will never use canned sloppy joe mix again! This was super easy and tastes great. I followed the recipe exactly.

Made it exactly to the recipe! Would make again!

Exactly the recipe I wanted. Ketchup already is too sweet in my opinion so I leave out the brown sugar and put in a small amount of molasses instead. I have some (unseasoned) rice vinegar in the ketchup as well because I just like that tang it gives and rice vinegar does not have the strong flavor apple cider vinegar does. So happy to find one of the rare sloppy joe recipes that aren't just boiling ground beef in cola sweet ketchup!

soo good. i made mini sloppy joes by getting dinner rolls and cutting then in half for buns.(:

Added some red pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder and worcestershire sauce to experiment as in other recipes. I also added chopped carrots and mushrooms because I wanted to use up extra veggies in the fridge. Very good! Easy.

This was a very good recipe. I've tried several Sloppy Joes recipes, and there's not very much variation in them, I find. I made this almost exactly as written, using light brown sugar, and a little more ketchup than specified (I measured out too much and couldn't exactly put the excess back into the bottle). It was quick and easy, and was decently thick. Perhaps a tiny bit too sweet, in my opinion. But it was all quite tasty, and the serving count is dead-on - it fit onto 6 (smallish) hamburger buns. I can recommend this recipe.

This recipe is great! I used a 93/7 lean ground beef and light brown sugar. Best sloppy joe's I've had by far. I'll be making these again.

I accidentally put too little meat without proportioning out the other ingredients so it was very tomato-y.

Put in 2 8-oz cans Roasted Garlic tomato sauce, no ketchup, reduced brown sugar by half, added garlic powder and 2 t Worcestershire sauce. Simmered 20 mins.

My anti-Sloppy Joe daughter ate half her sandwich and said this was better than what I usually fix (with a store-bought powdered mix). My husband had three sandwiches and finished my daughter's other half. He said they were the best he's ever had! ~~When browning the meat & onions I added some garlic powder and ground in some black pepper. Continued according to the recipe. Tasted and decided it needed something more. I added Worcestershire sauce and ground mustard (not prepared). Tasted & added a little more. This will likely be our go-to Sloppy Joes recipe!
