    I've made Sloppy Joes many times, but this recipe is by far the best. The sauce is perfectly balanced, and the cooking time really allows the flavors to deepen.

    This recipe is so easy and delicious! My kids absolutely loved it, and it's become a weeknight staple in our house.

    I added a diced onion and green pepper to the meat while browning, as suggested, and it was a great addition! Will definitely make this again.

  • Sam Lindgren

    This recipe is great as is, but it's also very easy to customize. I like to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
