Sorry to say it but my husband who loves sloppy joes, my son who will eat anything and my 1 year old, all took a couple of bites and refused to eat it. Couldn't figure out why since they like sloppy joes and corn bread. It may have been that the cornbread is not the traditional heavy, crumbly type. I have had success using Pillsbury Corn Sticks baked on top of sloppy joes and I think I will stick with that
