Sherri's Sloppy Joes

Submitted by Mrs.Jack

"This is my Grandmother’s recipe-and it reminds me of her-sweet and tangy! A fast and easy meal and it freezes well. I have never eaten another sloppy joe other than this one so I cannot compare to mixes or cans-all I know is that my family and I love these. I don’t usually measure the spices so use to your own taste. Regarding the vinegar, everyone in my family likes it really tangy so I use 4 Tablespoons but my Dad prefers less so adjust to your own liking. Hope you enjoy as much as I do!"

I have this recipe in my cookbook; actually made them today. And I was wondering where I got the recipe. Until, of course I just looked here and found that THIS is where that recipe came from LOL. I LOVE these joe's. I will NEVER make that stuff from the can EVER again. Thanks for such a wonderful, go-to recipe.

Sloppy joes are a favorite of mine! Due to sodium issues, I substituted 3 stalks of fresh celery for the celery salt and omitted the additional salt. Very good sloppy joe!

I made this for my DS as a take-home meal and was thoroughly enjoyed, I did add in 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of chopped garlic in place of the garlic powder and 1 tablespoon of crushed chili flakes and a jalapeno pepper (he loves extreme spice) thank you for sharing Sherri!

The tanginess of the vinegar definitely comes thru on this and so I for one was glad to see a different take on your normal BBQ sandwich. Or sloppy joe as these are called. I doubled your recipe, but only used 3 T. of vinegar total. That was plenty. This is a keeper recipe in the fact that it doesn't include sugar or for those that don't like white or brown sugar added to there sloppyjoe. Thanks Mrs Jack~ Made for Sept.-08's-Beyond Burgers.~
