Excellent sloppy Joes. I did add a little brown sugar and tripled the sauce ingredients because we like more sauce than this produced. Flavor was great. Thanks

    This was wonderful! I didn't use the celery or green peppers but added some celery salt minus regular salt. I also added some brown sugar as well. Thanks for the great recipe!!

    Fantastic! Definitely better than any store-bought stuff! I sauteed the meat and didn't drain it, but used the little bit of grease to sautee the veggies with. Turned out fine; not greasy at all. After the veggies were cooked through, I deglazed the pan with the worcestershire sauce and let that cook off for a minute. Then, I used an 8 oz can of tomato sauce in place of the ketchup and added a Tbs or so of brown sugar. I omitted the hot sauce, as we didn't have any. Served with oven fries and raw veggies. DELICIOUS!

    A great combination of flavors, although I did do a few changes, I added in 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic and 1 tablepoon crushed chili flakes while cooking the beef, after simmering for about 20 minutes I added in some brown sugar as it was not sweet enough for my family's taste, thanks for sharing diner!

    Really good sloppy joes! I used red pepper in place of the green and I can't say I measured the ketchup, but just put a bunch in. I love ketchup! Used the 1/8 tsp of red pepper sauce and I think I will increase that next time as I do like a little kick. Congrats on winning the football pool!

    Great Sloppy Joes Diner! I really enjoyed for lunch today. I love my recipe but sometimes it's fun to try someone elses for a change. Will be making these again! Made for New Zaar Stars Tag Game. Linda

    Diner — you have achieved a Zaar world first. I was going to give this four stars because I needed to add a tablespoon of red pepper sauce to get the zing I wanted. But then our extremely fussy and 96-year-old Auntie Esther asked for seconds. AND THEN she asked to have the leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. She has lived with us for seven years and NEVER asked to have any leftovers. Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, but consider this the highest compliment you will ever receive on Zaar. I bow before you. I'm gobsmacked. Thanks. Made for Zaar World Tour.

    This is a wonderful sloppy Joe recipe. It's a great combination of flavors. The only thing I did differently was add a bit of brown sugar because we like a sweeter taste! Thanks for sharing.

    These really are awesome! I took your advice and almost doubled the catsup - it was perfect! This is a great meal when you're short on time. DH didn't sound too enthusiastic when I told him we were having sloppy joes for dinner, but once he tasted it he gobbled down two and enjoyed every bite. This one's a keeper!

    Loved them! I did not have celery so used 1 Tbl. celery flakes instead. To supplement the catsup, I added about 1/3 cup of bottled chili sauce. Then, to kick it up a notch, I gave the pot a dash (or two) of McCormick's Spicy Steak Seasoning. Will definitely be making this recipe again!
