Real Sloppy Joes

Michelle_My_Belle's Note:

I know I personally, can't stand canned sloppy joes or mixes like Manwich. Most of the things I know how to make are from zaar, watching my mother and going from memory, or like this one from my cooking teacher in high school. Definitely not a "sweet" sloppy joe. I never liked sloppy joes until I tried this recipe Sometimes I substitute celery seed and onion flakes for the real deal, depends what you have on hand and if you like chunks of veggies in your sloppy joes. Feel free to add some extra chili powder, this is the basic recipe as I was taught, depending on mood I'll keep it the same or add more

DH gave the recipe 4 stars but me and my son loved it so that's a 5 stars :) DH said there was too much ketchup. Maybe but with the mustard I added on mine, it was perfect and yummy. Thanks Michelle :) Made for PRMR tag game
