Really great recipe! So delicious! I made these with natural peanut butter and reduced the amount of sugar slightly. My husband thought they were VERY sweet, and I agreed, I think I'd try going down to a cup and a half sugar, and one and half sticks butter too. overall - AWESOME!

definitely a very yummy and healthy veg sloppy joe recipe! i have used veggie "meat" and manwich sauce in the past, but i think this is WAY better because you control the ingredients (especially the sodium, which can get so high with all prepackaged food!) and i love using fresh veggies and beans. i prepared dry kidney beans instead of using canned beans(again less sodium). i also greatly decreased the black & chili pepper amount, and kept adding vinegar until i liked the taste. i added a pinch of brown sugar too. it made a bunch, so i think i might try freezing half as another reviewer suggested. great recipe!

overall pretty tasty! i also used kidney beans and used my hand blender to make a thick mush of everything. i used an extra egg and added more hot sauce, onion and garlic. i omitted the milk for soaking the bread, just added crumbled dry bread. i made the balls in the shape and size that kibbeh/kofta usually is and put them on skewers (which was tricky) but it just seems best to make about golf ball size balls and forget the skewers. delicious with yogurt sauce, hummus, tabouli etc. as part of a meza dinner (instead of falafel, really) my husband and i both really liked this recipe and we'll definitely make it again.
