Sloppy Joe Sauce

Submitted by pianomom

"Got this from a co-worker over 10 years ago, and haven't quit making it since! A little bit sweet, but a touch of zip form the chili powder and vinegar. It's easy to expand the recipe to serve a crowd, too."

I want to thank you for this recipe! I can't eat the manwich version of sloppy joe sauce because I have a wheat allergy and the canned version contains wheat (maltrodextrin)...this tasted exactly like it! thank you!

I cut the recipe back to 1/3 cup to use over some leftover cooked ground up lamb - Wonderful would describe it. I used Balsmic vinegar Made a leftover taste as good almost better than the original recipe. Simple easy recipe using ingredients readily on hand

Fantastic! Super easy and the kids LOVED it! I added onion powder and garlic powder, a little less sugar and it was perfect! I think this is one of the best and economical recipes I have ever used and WAY better than the canned stuff and just as easy!

I had some ground chuck leftover in my fridge, and thought I'd make some sloppy joes. Looking in the cupboards for some canned stuff and found none. First search was recipezaar, and found your recipe, I happened to have all of these ingredients. I did add a small onion, diced, and it turned out delicious. This is much better than the stuff in a can, and ALOT cheaper. Thanks for posting this very simple recipe!!

This was very good with a sweetness kids will love. For our adult tastes, I doubled the chili powder. This is so easy and better than the canned stuff!
