Decided to try this recipe since it didn't call for ketchup and all kinds of sugar and I'm so glad I did. It's good but (thankfully) not sweet like so many sloppy joe recipes. Since I was also testing this recipe to see if my grandkids would like it, I didn't add the green pepper but will if I'm only making it for myself. I cooked it uncovered and it was just right after 15 minutes, not too sloppy at all.

Ok, so I haven't had a sloppy Joe since I was 10, and my tastes have changed enormously since then. I picked this recipe because of the lack of sweet ingredients. I also altered it to be vegetarian-ish by using gardein ground round. I did use Worcestershire though. I also used red pepper instead of green. I added extra seasoning - garlic powder, more oregano, and some cayenne. I had to add quite a bit more passata, but I think that's due to the veggie "meat." I loved this with my adaptations.

This recipe is awesome. I liked the fact that it didn't call for ketchup because I don't like ketchup. I made two batches... one with ground meat and one with morningstar ground meat. I added diced carrot and celery to both, which helped stretch the meat a bit. Once the sauce is made, you don't really notice the added veggies. My husband loved this recipe. I could eat it as is w/o the bun. I will certainly be making this again.

Very good! I love that this recipe uses no ketchup or other syrupy ingredients but still has a nice balance of flavors. Even the pickiest child enjoyed these. I used a pound of organic 85/15 beef, then drained well before adding the tomato sauce and other ingredients. Froze the mixture so that I could reheat later in the week for an easy dinner. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
