I ran the onion red pepper carrots and garlic through the food processor to get a fine chop before sauteing it. I wanted a little smokier flavor I used half ketchup/half barbecue sauce. This sloppy joe recipe was okay--it worked for me because it used ingredients on hand and it was quick to make. I served this with ranch jo-jo potatoes and a veggie platter.
I like sneaking extra veggies in dinner. I should have chopped the carrots much smaller but my husband and I didn't mind. Children would have. These burgers had a slightly spicy taste. I also lightened this recipe a bit by using Quorn instead of ground beef.
Very good! My family loved this recipe. I'm going to make one again!
Love it...always use it...red peppers not green...Made it many times for family and parties. 5 stars...adjust ingredients to taste...drain all fat...add water for consistency. Great
Instead of using ground beef I used ground turkey
I adjusted for I had ingredients I had on hand. I use ground turkey a whole red pepper a whole small white onion & a whole small Purple Onion. And as I increase the veggies quite a bit I had increased the amount of ketchup used. Next time I think I might use canned diced tomatoes. It was amazing. I loved it.... loved it.....loved it.
Loved it and a great way to sneak in veggies. I chopped the carrots too big the first time and it was a little dry for my taste so the second time around I used the slap chopper thing we have to get it super finely chopped. I increased the ketchup to a full cup to add a little more moisture and I loved it.
Fantastic! Super easy and healthy. I used some chilis in adobo sauce to give a kick and added crushed red pepper flakes. Used cabbage instead of bread for fewer calories. Thank you!
Delicious and hubby loved it too! Increased bell pepper, carrot and garlic. Also added chopped celery (same amount as carrot and bell pepper). For the sauce I used ketchup and chilli sauce with a bit more prepared mustard than the recipe called for and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Will definitely make again!
my family including our 2 teenage boys loved this. it has a taste all of it's own no more canned stuff
