This was good but I think I'd like it even better with my usual sloppy joe recipe. I used Iron Mike's Sweet Tomato Pizza Sauce - the Spirit of Cincinnati for the tomato sauce and red pepper not green. I couldn't find 10-inch crusts, only 12-inch, so used those (and I thought the size was perfect). Otherwise, didn't change a thing (except to add a little extra cheese). Thanks for the recipe!
