Did anyone say this looks like dog food? I’m sorry, but not trying this. Absolutely not.
Good recipe but too many steps, I just wanna eat. Why not just mix it all together and heat it!
Quick and easy! Just what I needed on a busy night. Will make again!
These Sloppy Joes were super easy to make! My kids devoured them. Will make again!
Quick and simple! Perfect for my busy family. Thanks for sharing!
I made this recipe but used turkey instead of beef. Still turned out tasty! 😊
I think they were too sweet. Who puts brown sugar in Sloppy Joes? Seems odd.
I used turkey instead of beef and they turned out fine! Healthy Sloppy Joes.
That sounds like a great alternative! I might try that too next time. Thanks for sharing!
Sloppy Joes is a classic! This recipe brought back memories of my mom making them for us. Yum!
Sloppy Joes are sort of basic but I like them. This recipe is simple and fills me up.
Not sure about the ketchup + sugar combo… kind of sticky. I prefer tomatoes instead.
Sloppy Joes? More like sloppy noes. Not impressed.
I actually love Sloppy Joes! They remind me of my childhood. Maybe you just had a bad experience? Give them another shot!
Sloppy Joes ain’t gourmet, it’s comfort food! But if you don’t like it, that’s ok too. Everyone has their taste.
These Sloppy Joes are the best! My kids loved them, and they were super easy to make.
Didn’t like it. Ground beef too greasy and I don’t like onions.
Yum!!! I added some cheese on top and it was next level. So good!
Cheese? That’s genius! I’ll definitely try that next time. Thanks for the tip!
Doesn’t this have too much sugar tho? Like, a whole cup of ketchup? My dentist would hate me!
I don’t see why so many people love these. The mixed flavors were just too weird for me.
