Andi, I made this for lunch today with a bit of hesitation because I have never been a fan of Sloppy Joes. I decided to make your recipe though, because I wanted something simple I could prepare and then throw in my crock pot for church potlucks etc... I must admit your recipe has changed my mind concerning Sloppy Joes. I did make a couple of small changes though. I realized after I had added the tomato sauce in the pan, that I was out of ketchup (hard to believe with 4 kids) so I subbed some rich and zesty B-B-Q sauce and omitted the brown sugar. Oh, I also added the chili powders and a pinch more garlic then the recipe calls for. Made and reviewed as a recipenap for the Aug. 2011 AUS/NZ Recipe Swap.
