These Sloppy Joes are really great! They smelled so good cooking, also! Had some left over and DH made a Sloppy Joe Pizza (put Sloppy Joe on Pizza Shell, topped with Cheddar Cheese and Baked) which we had the next day, for lunch! Will keep this recipe handy! Easy meal and great tasting!

These were OK. My family likes sloppy joes, but these were thinner and the crockpot gave the meat a strange texture. I cooked on low for four hours and it was still too much. Not bad flavor, just not a repeat at our house. Thanks for sharing the recipe though!

I absolutely love this recipe, and I never liked sloppy joes before! The leftovers are yummy too.
