I made this on a cold winter night and it "hit the spot". The recipe is easy and delicious. I added a half capful of vinegar to mine to give it a little bite.
I think the recipe is plenty sweet as is...I added some diced jalapeno to amp up the flavor, and it turned out delicious!
I think this recipe is great. If you want a little more sweetness, just add brown sugar to your desired taste. I tried Rachel Ray's recipe and think this one is far better.
Yum! So good. Definitely give it time to thicken, but they have a great taste.

This was delicious, ONCE I added more to it. I used Bobby Flay's recipe and added brown sugar, ancho chile powder and honey. Thank goodness I tasted it before I served it! Once I added the extra ingredients, it was great!
Here's a link to the BEST sloppy joes I ever made: Rachel Ray Super Sloppy Joes: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/super-sloppy-joes-recipe/.... Trust me! This will become your new recipe.
I make these with boca burger crumbles and they come out perfect!
Made these last night! so good and lots of flavor!! Even my picky-eater boyfriend said this recipe was a keeper!
I exchanged the celery for 2 carrots and added a little Sriracha sauce for spice. I thought they turned out great and my kids 12 and 8 loved them
This brings back so many great school-hood memories.
If you don't have tomato sauce on hand you can substitute a 15-oz can of whole tomatoes pureed in the blender with a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste. If you're feeding a crowd (I tripled it) a 28 oz can of tomatoes with a small can of tomato paste was more than needed. (I froze the excess for use in spaghetti sauce.)
I add mustard and a little bit of brown sugar. Or molasses. Yum!
These are the best. Years ago I used to think Sloppy Joes could only be made with packaged spice mixes. (Which I had to stop using when I developed a fatal allergy to MSG.) I was ever so glad to find this recipe in my Everyday Food. Now I have friends and family both requesting this dish. It is great.
I also add steak sauce and mustard to my sloppy joes. Gives it more of that
smoky tang flavor. Again, always a big hit with our family of 12 grandkids, one
on the way.
Easy and delicious! I couldn't believe how quickly it cooked up too. The whole family loved this, even the toddlers.
