Jeannie's Sloppy Joes

We enjoyed these very much. I didn't read the recipe carefully enough when planning so I didn't realize you were supposed to use the crock pot. Didn't matter! I made them (like Melanie: 1 lb. ground beef, halved other ingredients) in a regular pot and let the sauce simmer down for about 10 minutes. Took about 30 minutes from start to finish, so a pretty easy and tasty dinner.

Melanie W.'s Sloppy Joes

I love Sloppy Joes, and this was an easy, yummy recipe! I decided to use only 1 pound of ground beef, and then halved the rest of the ingredients. It made about 8 sloppy joes, enough for dinner and leftovers the next day. Perfect!

I opted to leave out the green peppers since I don't like them, I didn't add any dry mustard (didn't have any) and simmered it in a stovetop pot for about 45min (don't have a crockpot). It turned out to be the perfect consistency for my taste. I've made some sloppy joes that turn out way too thick. I liked the touch of chili powder...I don't think I've ever used it in my sloppy joes, and I liked that this recipe didn't call for a ton of ketchup like other recipes I've used. It was yummy and I'd definitely make this again.

Cami's Sloppy Joes

I know. I know. This doesn't look like Sloppy Joes at all. Well, I made a few modifications. I have good reason. When I got married Jason had a list of things he would prefer I never ask him to eat. He had different reasons for each item but Sloppy Joes was indeed on the list. Other things on the list were macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, tatertot casserole and jello with carrots in it.

So, I still wanted to try this recipe. I divided it by 4 so it made 4-5 servings. Perfect. I also added roasted veggies (zucchini and squash) and served it over rice instead of on buns. Jason thought it was good, but probably wouldn't request it again. I also thought it was good. If I did make it again I would probably add a lot more veggies. I think it added a lot of hearty flavor.

Stella & Kirt's Sloppy Joes

Unfortunately Stella & Kirt ran into problems trying to post, so I'm going to do it for them. If anyone else has problems please let me know and we'll try to get it figured out. It makes 20 ppl servings. We have only made it once and it was for my parents, siblings and their kids and there was plenty. So we used the full recipe.
