I love this recipe with a few changes...I had used this before out of the Rachel Ray coookbook and I made the following changes: Left out bell pepper, used the whole can of tomato paste, 1 can of tomato sauce and 1 cup of water, use 3 T vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, smokey paprika, and cumin to taste. And finally I used about 2 1/2 lbs of ground beef. Makes wonderful leftovers!!

These are fantastic sloppy joes! They are sweet, but that's just how we like them. Except for using ground turkey instead of beef, I followed the recipe exactly (including using McCormick brand spicy steak seasoning). It was a little more runny than we like so I let it simmer for about 45 minutes and it thickened up just right.
