made this to use in our camper rather than having packaged mixes! smells super yummy and the only problem is I keep forgetting to actually MAKE sloppy joes! but i am sure they will be wonderful with the aroma i get every time i open that jar! thanks Cookingfor7!! <br/> Update: Made 8/31/2012 and smelled wonderful throughout my kitchen!! (precooked to take for a quick first-day camping meal). Such a bold, spice induced flavor! Tired of the same old sloppy joes, so this recipe was perfect! It will be my go to recipe for now on!! Everyone loved them... even the one that says she doesn't like sloppy joes. thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Carla, I made your Sloppy Joes for lunch today. They were spicy, thick and rich, but also very good. This is one sloppy joe recipe I think my husband will definitely like. When making the sloppy joes, I did sub diced green bell peppers for the green pepper flakes, as I had bell peppers in the fridge, and besides, I enjoy bell peppers in my sloppy joes. I also subbed Lawry's Season Salt for the table salt. I really enjoyed these served with shredded Mexican cheese. Since the sauce is rather thick, I will be nuking them in the microwave when I reheat them. Carla, thank you for posting this delcious sloppy joe recipe. I look forward to making them again.

I needed a quick lunch today before my boyfriend went to work, so I picked this... I used fresh onions and bell peppers and a very spicy chili powder. It was a very very spicy sloppy joe. I think this was because i over processed the onions and so the juice kept the heat going... In any case, the flavor was incredible and my boyfriend loved the heat. Definitely making this again!!

Hello! My name is Carla. I have 5 kids ages 10 and under.
I love to cook, sing, paint, bicycle, and play piano. It's hard to squeeze in that many activities anymore though, but I still manage.
I grew up in Alabama and learned to cook everything southern. I spent a lot of my childhood and all of my adult life in Colorado, the healtiest state in the nation. I've become a health and fitness fanatic. I'ts a real trick to balance healthy eating and southern cooking. I've learned to make a lot of modifications to make those southern dishes work for us though.
