Rich flavor made for a tasty lunch for us. Made for the Orphanage Spring 2013.

We enjoyed these sloppy joes and the leftovers were even better! I used Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce and it worked great in these joes. Ran short on time and only simmered for 1 hour but the flavor was definitely there. Will make these again for us and family get togethers. Make and reviewed for Pick A Chef - Spring 2013.

This is very good. A bit sweeter than I like but very good. It may have been the BBQ sauce I used. I served with homemade buns and tater tots.

I'm not sure who Mrs J is, but she deserves a pat on the back for this recipe! I've never added barbeque sauce to sloppy joes before and we thought this deepened the flavor of a regular stand-by meal. I only had 30 minutes to allow simmering for making 1/2 the recipe, which will serve several more than 4-5. Thanks for sharing this one!

Made this for Fall 09 PAC. Followed the recipe as given, this makes alot, with a BBQ flavor, and almost as if eating a Southern BBQ pork sandwich. This is really good, but think next time will half the recipe. Thank you for a tasty treat.
