Sloppy Joes
"Another tried and true recipe whose origin I can't remember. I really prefer the taste of these home-made joes to the canned sauce, and isn't much more work!"

I enjoyed these and will make them again. I will definately cut the brown sugar down to 1 1/2 T, and I agree with others that these need to be sloppier...especially if you will be keeping them warm in a crock pot. -
The taste is perfect. It's not sweet as some sloppy joes I made. But I would have like that the meat holds together a bit more. Thanks Misa :) Made for all you can cook buffet -
one of the best I have tasted so far and I have made many, I did use a whole onion and added in 4 large minced garlic cloves and for lots of heat added in 2 heaping tablespoons of crushed chili flakes, I omitted the garlic powder, this was chosen, made and enjoyed for KK's Chef's Pick forum event, thanks Misa! -
DH loved these sloppy joes! I omitted the green pepper as he doesnt care for them much, used fresh minced garlic and my onions werent looking to good so I used dried onions. Next time I think I would add more of the "sloppy" ingredients to have them a little juicier. These do have a sweeter flavor than what I am used to but was a nice change. Served on sliced bread and Fluffster's Recipe #354598. Made and reviewed for Kitten's Mini Cookathon. -
Very nice sloppy joe recipe! I don't care for onions so left them out, otherwise made as specified. The bbq sauce gave this a very robust flavor. I'll probably add more of the sauce ingredients next time as we like ours a little "sloppier". Thanks for posting your recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2009

I've been hanging around here for awhile, so I guess filling this part out is overdue...:oops: (6/09)
I am a teacher, married to a pretty swell fella, and have a spoiled rotten princess, er, I mean, cat.
I'm pretty eclectic with my passions - obviously cooking and eating being high on the list! I love to read (from cookbooks to horror/suspense to fiction, fantasy, sci-fi to nonfiction...if it's still long enough, I'll read it). I make beaded jewelry, mostly bead weaving, some stringing. Enjoy listening to most sorts of music - and it's a darn shame I can't dance, sing, or have any sort of rhythm. Computer geek at heart - I'm frequently on the net or playing games in my spare time. I also like drawing and writing, but I don't have as much time to do as much as I used to. I have amassed quite the Good Eats DVD collection (thanks to my DH.... and he's sweet enough to make sure I've picked up the plungers and dino squirt bottle along the way :D). And to complete the quintessential nerd profile, yes, I do read comics.
I couldn't pick a single favorite cookbook, but golly, I looove fundraiser cookbooks. Talk about tried and true! I tend to collect all sorts of cookbooks, most of them southern cooking. Guess I cook what I know.
If you ever try any of my recipes - thank you! I hope they tickle your tastebuds!
