  1. I used this recipe to build a vegetarian sloppy joe with mashed kidney beans and it was AMAZING! I used about half the brown sugar and ketchup called for here, no mustard, and probably a bit less chili powder as well, with red wine vinegar. To. Die. For. Perfect comfort food. Thanks so much!

  2. I found Miss Diggy's wonderful Sloppy Joe recipe many years ago and it quickly became a beloved part of our family. The kids are out on their own and every few weeks, Hubby and I look at each other and say..... Grandma's Sloppy Joes? it's one of those cozy favorites that makes everything just a little more fun. Thanks for having given our family one of our favorites! And for the record..... EXACTLY as written is JUST PERFECT!

  3. This is not just AMAZING, a KEEPER, GREAT.... it's the BOMB. I had the day off and started cooking early. Usually serve supper at 6:00. Guess it smelled good, because I stuffed myself and was asleep by 3:30.

  4. Thought I'd give this recipe a go as a change from the old trusty recipe I've always made for my young family, and now still make for my much bigger family including great grands. We found though ( hopefully no offense is taken ) this recipe to be too heavy on the tomato side/taste, so probably won't make again. Glad I tried it though as you never know if a new found recipe might be tastier than what you're used to. It also made me realize some of the trusty 1960's recipes that were my go- tos as a young Mother such as Betty Crocker's 3 - 1 hamburger mix is just as tasty today as it was way back then!

  5. This was delicious! I did use mustard powder instead of liquid mustard. Everything else was the same. I halved it for just the two of us, and it is easy to cut in half and VERY easy to put together. Thank you for sharing. I will definitely keep this on file

  1. I added a little chopped orange bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic. Also, instead of yellow mustard I added Dijon mustard. Sooo freaking good!!

  2. Adding a chopped jalapeno, or small green bell pepper if you like it mild, when cooking the onion and meat is perfection! Great recipe!!

  4. I cooked recipe as written using a squirt of prepared yellow mustard.

    David G.

  5. Add to the browned ground beef and onion, one 8 oz. can of tomato sauce and & three fourths cup water, simmer 30 minutes then add 1 tablespoon worchester sauce and ½ cup ketchup. Simmer another 5 minutes. I usually serve open face style. Delish.
