"This recipe is delicious. Spicy bold flavor with low fat. The beans add an interesting texture to this recipe and you can always use ground beef if you wish, you just wont need the canola oil. also you can discard the drippings in step 2 if using beef."

Hubby and I really enjoyed these sloppy joes...we loved the addition of the beans...although we thought they were just a bit to sweet...next time I will cut the amount of sugar in half...the molasses along with the sugar was to much...I used the pinto beans...and toasted the bun...I also used a sesame bun because I didn't have a whole wheat one...I served recipe #238248 along side for a delicious meal...Made for Spring 2014 PAC...=)
