These were great, will make time and time again. Forget the store bought canned sloppy joe mix, I will use this. It was simple, good and easy to make.

I have had my favorite Sloppy Joe recipe for 50 years but recipe sounded like it would be good so I tried it. We had a large group over for a picnic so I tripled it. Everyone absolutely loved this recipe. They had seconds and they wanted the recipe. I made it exactly as the recipe called for. The celery was not too much as some reviewers thought. The recipe is perfect as is. I will never go back to my "old" favorite again since I have a new favorite

This is pretty good! It tastes less barbecuey than I thought it would with the sauce in it (I used Sweet Baby Ray's sauce), but that was fine as it gave it more of a sloppy joe flavor. The one thing about this recipe is that it has too much celery in it (and I only used 2 of the 3 ribs of celery called for). The celery taste was competing with the meat flavor a bit much. I think next time I will stick to just one rib, because I do think the sauce was pretty good and would prepare this again. Thanks for posting!

Followed recipe exactly and got perfect sloppy joes. Served on buns with shredded velveeta and they were delicious. I would probably add some diced green pepper the next time only cause I love green bell pepper, not because the recipe needs adjustment. Served with macaroni salad on the side. Great dinner!
