All the family was coming over to celebrate our son's 9th birthday today(Dec 28th) and I wanted a simple meal. My two persnickety girls said that they even loved this recipe and everyone else liked it too. I'm going to make this again tomorrow, as there was not even a drop left in the pan. We got around 20 servings using small buns. This is going to be my standard sloppy joe recipe from now on. Thank you so much for sharing this delicious recipe.

Not bad. Kids liked it. Needs more seasoning. Will change it a little next time.

Great! Easily made from ingredients on hand, and wonderful flavor. The perefct thickness, and not too salty. Chopped the onion finely so the kids wouldn't object to chunky veggies. Served on recipe #156583 with pickles and sliced onions. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is going in my "BEST of ZAAR SO FAR" cookbook! I did not use onions due to severe allergy but otherwise, followed the directions to a T. The chicken bouillon does not make these too salty and if you actually wait the 45 minutes to allow them simmer, they thicken up to perfect results. Make these today if you can, you won't be disappointed. KCShell

This was awesome!!! I didn't have any ground beef on hand so I made sloppy bucks(ground deer)!! I however hate sloppy joes from a can and my kids love sloppy joes. I figured that I would try a homemade recipe and I love it. It was really good. I made this how it was posted excepted for the onions since we don't care for onions. Just to put peoples minds at ease it isn't soupy at all but you need to have the patience to cook it the whole time to let the sauce thicken. It does look like it will be soupy but it's not. Great recipe everydaymom. Thanks very much for posting it.
