  1. Made this dish as I had almost all the ingredients on hand! Made it in the morning and reheated for dinner tonight. Great flavor! The only changes I made were using a red bell pepper instead of green (it's what I had) and used ground turkey instead of ground beef. We will have this again! Thanks!
     
  2. This was a good sloopy joe. I've never fixed it with pasta sauce before. We've always used ketchup, but the pasta sauce gave it a wonderful added flavor that we enjoyed. The kids loved it. Thanks for sharing. Prepared for PAC Fall/2008.
