About a week ago, I happen to see Ellie Krieger prepare these sloppy joes on the cooking channel, and I had to make them, but was very disappointed how they turned out. The sloppy joes were VERY BLAND. I thought the jalapeno would of added some heat, but it did not, and the molasses didn't sweeten the sloppy joes, so I added some chili powder hoping it would spice them up, plus I added some dark brown sugar, hoping it would sweeten them up, but the end results, neither my husband and I didn't care for them. Hubby politely adviced me not to make them again.
