Although I liked the simplicity of this recipe, I really didn't care much for the taste of it. It was a little on the watery side so I cooked it for a little longer then suggested. I tasted it and it still need "something". I'm rating the recipe based on following the recipe as-is. However, I added about 1/4 cup of our favorite BBQ Sauce and it tasted heavenly! I would rate a four star with the added BBQ sauce to it. The recipe is a keeper for me but with the added ingredient. I've never had Sloppy Joe out of a can, so, perhaps to some people, this homemade version is an upgrade .

Well. This IS embarrassing. I just found a pile of recipes, among which was this one that I made for RSC #9 & turns out I never reviewed it. Many apologies! We loved these! I'm glad I stumbled on the recipe again because it has been requested to eat again soon. Absolutely delicious & sooo much better than the canned sloppy joe stuff or sodium in a packet seasoning! This recipe has really nice flavor - not too anything - well balanced. It's just YUMMY!!! Well done, Kelly!!

Loved the simplicity of this recipe! The fresh orange juice in ours really stood out and added a zing to an otherwise familiar dish. Everyone loved the Sloppy Joes and I am betting this recipe does very well in RSC because of its ingredients, very easy directions, a kid pleaser, and of course, its deliciousness. Next time I make them I would add red bell pepper, garlic powder and maybe a bit of onion powder. Good Luck Chef! Great Entry!

Thanks for sharing your tasty creation with us. We enjoyed this quick and easy to make dish very much. The sloppy joes were saucey, sweet and tangy. I especially like the addition of the fresh orange juice to the sauce. It gave it a fresh, alive taste. This was a very mild sauce, next time I make this I will add more cayenne, some fresh garlic and sea salt.
