Taverns

Submitted by kittycatmom

"Taverns are similar to sloppy joes, just not as "tomato-y;" I have made these for many church and work pot-lucks by increasing the quantities. For Zaar I cut the recipe down to 4 servings. I have had this recipe for many years and really don't have a clue where I first came across it. Works great in the Crock Pot."

Tagged in the *Everyday is a Holiday* game because SJs are *comfort food* for me, I made a full recipe as written except for adding garlic as a pers pref. I have made many SJ recipes & am slowly developing my pers fave recipe from the *best of the best* I have tried. This recipe is an easy-fix + ingredient-friendly & I esp liked that the longer-than-usual cook time resulted in a full-flavoured meat mixture you can actually load on a bun & pick up to eat ~ altho DH & I usually eat SJs open-face style so we can super-size the serving & dig in w/a fork. I served these SJs mounded atop buttered rolls sprinkled w/Parmesan (a great idea I adopted from another SJ recipe) & they were excellent. Thx for sharing your recipe w/us. :-)

Very good! Followed the recipe as stated however, I didn’t level off the brown sugar. Next time I will level out the brown sugar on the spoon, as it was a tad sweet. Still very good though!

Made this tavern recipe for a football . Huge hit and lots off thumbs up. I did use onion powder instead of onions also. The longer you simmer the better the flavor. It's a must to make:)

These were super good sloppy joes, much better than the kind you make with the canned sauce. The only changes I made was to use onion powder instead of onion, and I put in some diced green bell pepper. Thank you for the recipe, I will definitely make these again!

My husband has been bugging for sloppy joes but I don't like the ones from a can or packet. It was his turn to cook so I had him make these. I liked these! A little sweet but I know it's because he didn't level out the brown sugar in the measuring spoon. Would eat this again.
