Absolutely delicious! Unfortunately I only got to eat one sandwich, cause hubby and son wolfed it down. Not even any leftovers! I put the diced tomatoes in the blender for a few secs and passed it off as New and Improved Manwich! Didn't tell them till they finished it was homemade! Will be making this alot Inez. Thanks for posting! :) -
OK, Inez, this is no longer a "one-hit wonder". We've made this twice now, have loved it and I just forgot to review it. It's easy and deee-licious ... beats the heck out of Manwiches! -
This is much better than Manwhich-so fresh tasting. My kids weren't so keen on the chunks of tomato so I think next time I will give them a little smoother texture by throwing the canned tomatoes in the food processor for a few seconds. -
EXCELLENT! I followed the directions to a T, and it had a Wonderful Flavor as is, the recipe is very aptly-named. My famiy likes sloppy joes a bit more tomatoey, and I added a 6-oz. can of tomato paste...AWESOME!! Thank-you Inez for Another KEEPER! -
This was a good sloppy joe recipe. It was easy to prepare and all of the ingredients are what anyone would have on hand. I liked the diced tomatoes, not something I usually add. I did find it a bit sweet, so next time I will add some black pepper and 1 or 2 crushed garlic cloves. I served these on crusty buns and made some oven fries with them - thanks for posting.

Quick and super easy. I substituted 1/2 cup extra Catsup and 1/8 cup BBQ Sauce for diced tomatoes. Kitchen smells great and the longer you simmer the better it gets. I also added 1/4 cup of water and covered saucepan during cooking.

So good and very easy to make. The only change I made was to use all ketchup instead of canned tomatoes and 1 pound of ground beef and kept the rest of the ingredients the same since there are only two of us. Nice and saucy, just like manwich only better! Thanks for a keeper MizzNez. -
An outstanding recipe - slightly sweet and a little tangy. I made some adjustments...I used Yves Veggie ground round instead of ground beef. As always, you couldn't even tell! And I added about 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder and a generous dash of hot sauce. I didn't have ground mustard, so I added about 1/4 tsp dijon mustard instead. I'm trying to stay away from wheat right now, so instead of serving this mix on buns, we added 1/2 cup of water to make it a little saucier and had it served over brown rice. Delicious! We'll definitely be making this one again...
-
Whatever you do, don't use wheat buns with this recipe! The flavor disappears. I did think this would be a little more saucy, and may tweak it a bit. Used Morningstar Farms' veggie crumbles instead of beef or turkey, and it was undetectable! -
All I can say is ummmm good! Will never use a different sloppy joe recipe. The only thing I did different was to substitute(1)15 oz can of tomato sauce for the diced tomatoes and left out the green pepper. Everyone loved it!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
