I'm a huge buffalo chicken fan and this recipe was great! I also added a diced jalepeno and closer to 2/3 c of red hot. (I wouldn't recommend most people to do this, I like it hot). I served it open faced on toasted kaiser rolls with blue cheese dressing. My husband thought it was tasty too and I will definitely make this again. If you like buffalo chicken and sloppy joes this is a great option. P.S. I had some leftovers, so the next day I use the extra joes to make buffalo chicken lettuce wraps. I think I liked those even better, and I may skip the bun next time!

Sloppy Buffalo Joes was 5 stars in this house with some minor adjustments based on "the joes" turning out too runny for previous people. As written "the joes" may come out soupy. Using tomato paste instead of sauce and adding the chicken stock slowly while stirring to make sure that the consistency is to your desired thick or thinness are tricks that make the difference for us. These came out great and the family raved. The ground chicken is a welcome relief from beef some nights and this recipe comes together easily with a little preprep cutting vegetables earlier. The pickles and blue cheese are optional and these joes are superb without either but the addition takes it to another level. Definitely a keeper and will be added to our family's rotation.

Wonderful! I too saw Rachael make these and couldn't stop thinking about 'em - glad to see the recipe here. One important note for calorie counters like me (;)) - this recipe as written is for EIGHT servings, not FOUR - which changes the nutritional info drastically. These are really around 400 calories per serving. I made them even less by using whole wheat rolls and omitting the blue cheese. I did use a little of fat free ranch dressing and a tiny sliver of a laughing cow cheese wedge on my bread. I made the meat and sauce exactly as written here, and they are perfect. I used ground white turkey. I also think these would be great with low calorie shredded cheddar cheese mixed in at the end. I did that on my second batch and it worked great. Thanks so much for sharing - this is a great guiltless keeper!! :)

Yummm!! I have made this quite a few times now. I simmer it a bit longer so it thickens. (about 30 minutes.) Also, instead of using 1 cup of tomato sauce, I use an 8oz can of tomato paste. I think Ranch dressing would work well too instead of the Blue Cheese, gonna try that next. Thanks for posting, cookie.

hey there, jenny here! i'm 28, married and a SAHM of Isabelle (1/13/07). i love to cook and try new recipes. i watch food network and read recipes everyday and must admit that i have much more food knowledge than actual cooking skill, but i'm getting better. my hubby never complains and loves that i bake when i get bored (his co-workers don't complain much either!)
other than cooking i spend my time chasing after my VERY high energy toddler, reading, and watching my favorite shows (thank god for dvr) i love to shop also but have to limit that quite a bit to be able to stay home and raise babies! my dh and i try and have date night once a month or so and enjoy going to new restaurants, visiting a casino, or just joining up w/ friends for a couple drinks.
