This was very tasty, but the next time I make it I'll add a diced onion and some crushed garlic (but that's just me).

catlady6866 288727 4 I agree with the onion and garlic. It almost always goes in every savory dish I make, and especially if it's ground beef. Otherwise, this recipe looks good. I'd like to be able to make my sloppy joes without having to buy the canned sauce. I make a lot to take to potlucks and it's cheaper with this recipe. After it's done, I put it in the slow cooker on warm and it works out well. Everyone likes it but the vegetarians-I bring a veggie side dish for them!
