A neat and different way to make sloppy joes. Also a good way to stretch ground beef. The core ingredients are good, we just increased some of the amounts for more flavor. Upped the salt to 1 1/4 t., Worcestershire 3 T, and pepper 1 t. The mushrooms do add a nice element to the overall flavor. Thanks for sharing.

Very good sloppy joes which were easy to make. I did skip the mushrooms (out of) but I think they are good without but I am sure they are better with the mushrooms. Thanks for sharing!
