My family had a tast testing event. All of us chose this as our first choice. It had the most full flavored, good body, best taste. I had cut the brown sugar to 1/3, because we don't like a sweet sloppy joe, but otherwise followed the recipe. We all liked the background kick from the cayenne pepper which provided a little surprise! but was not too intense.

I was looking for a sloppy joe recipe with less sodium to replace my favorite sloppy joe recipe. This one had less sodium than any I could find so I tried it. The sloppy joes turned out great and I will continue to use this recipe. The only thing I did differently was to add a couple TBS. of chopped green pepper and did not use cheese because that would add more sodium. I'll be freezing the leftovers. Thanks for posting. You have a winner here.

The kids gave this 5 stars. For me it was a three start meal but I couldn't add any heat because my children never would have eaten it. It was very easy to prepare and since all the kids enjoyed it I will make it again. Maybe I'll throw some hot pepper flakes on mine next time.

This is a really good sloppy joe recipe, and super easy!! I have tried others that are too runny and this was just right. I also liked to cayenne pepper. We have small kids, so I only added a little, but it added a nice little kick. It's definitely our new go-to sloppy joe recipe! Thanks!!!

The flavor was good, just a little too sweet for hubby and I. I might try making again and substitute some tomato sauce for the ketchup and eliminate the brown sugar.
