These were tasty. I didn't think that they were too sweet. There was just the right amount of sauce. Most sloppy joe recipes have too much sauce to suit my taste. I didn't have any white vinegar so I used red wine vinegar. I also substituted 1 T onion powder for the fresh onion because I didn't have any fresh onions and it worked out fine.

This was family pleasing. The allspice was an interesting touch from the other versions. Thanks for the posting!

The title is correct...my son [15yo] made these last night, and the family was pleased. The flavor was a little sweeter than I would have liked, but everyone else approved, so it's a keeper.
