I am NOT a sloppy joe type of person, but my kids love them. Normally I just make the name brand kind bought at the store, but since I discovered allrecipes.com I've tried making the majority of foods from scratch. These were FABULOUS! Even I went back for seconds! The only thing I did differently was add an onion and a few cloves of garlic (diced) to the meat as it was browning and a splash of vinegar with the ketchup mix. Absolutely perfect. I served over garlic toast with a fork to help keep the messiness down. Superb! I will definitely be making these again!

When I set out to make a bread pudding I wanted one that was so perfect you didnt need to add ice cream or syrup to it at all. THIS ONE ROCKS!!! I hate raisins though so I did NOT add those, instead I added about 2/3 cup of pecans to the bread mix, they went perfectly with the dish! I also let it soak for 10 minutes before baking and used cooking spray instead of butter (it's cheaper). In less than 12 hours every single bite of this was GONE! And I have picky eaters!! I will DEFINITELY be making this again and again! I cant wait to play around with it and see what adding chopped apples and walnuts does to this! Simply WONDERFUL recipe!!! Thanks Nichele!!

Perfect, absolutely perfect. Changed one thing though: Due to the sheer volume of reviews that called for extra cooking time I lowered the temp to 325 and baked for about an hour and a half, the loaves came out perfect! Moist and cinnamon'y. Finally!! A pumpkin bread that isn't dry and bland tasting!!
