Recipe was really good, but I used the amount of cloves in the recipe and it was a little too much. I'll cut back next time, but this is definitely a keeper...

Well it was a good outline, I added a few things and changed it up a bit. Instead of the pepper I put in 1/2 cup of chopped up Celery, a can of pork and beans, Tbsp Chili Powder, instead of Ketchup we used Tomatoe paste, I really liked the cloves in this recipe.

Thanks for this! My husband is a big fan of sloppy joes and this was perfect for the both of us. The cloves really did something great for this. I didn't change a thing and don't think I ever will!

Really delicious. I added a clove of garlic and ommited the cloves, simply because I didn't have any. Next time I will add the cloves and maybe some red pepper flakes for some heat. Thanks for the recipe!

I liked this recipe but I would add the ground cloves to taste because it is a powerful yet great flavor but if you add what the recipe calls for you may not like it. I added more brown sugar to mine to make it sweeter! But all in all I love these sloppy joes!

Made this for a large family gathering. Everyone loved them but said it had a taste they couldn't identify. The addition of the cloves really took it up a notch. Great recipe!

This was a good recipe. I omitted the peppers and sprinkled minced garlic in instead of the cloves. It was very good but I'm giving this four stars because it was a little greasy. I think I will make this again.

The cloves were very over whelming. No one in my family liked this. May be ok if you omit the cloves.

LOVE this recipe! I was hesitant in using this recipe because of some of the reviews. I have to say people are TOTALLY wrong about the cloves. They are a MUST HAVE! I do agree that cloves are VERY STRONG and the amount you use should be cut in half. YUM, YUM!!! These sloppy joes remind me of the manwiches my mother used to make me as a child.

This was incredible! I tweaked it just a bit. I doubled the recipe but only put a 1/4 cup of onions (my family are not huge onion eaters) I skipped the bell peppers. I added 2t garlic. I am not a fan of cloves in anything, so I used allspice and it added that perfect something. This is definitely a new fave!

Another reason you should always trust your Grandma! Very good - took the advice and used 1/2 ketchup and 1/2 BBQ sauce. Added a good dash of ground cloves. Excellent - will use this from now on. Thanks Grandma!

most of the family liked it. i loved it, along with my oldest daughter. it was a little sweet. i did not use the clove because i didn't have it, but i did use advice from another person to use allspice. i also did not have green pepers so i used red, orange and yellow pepers. i will make again in the future.

My family ate it, but no one liked it. My oldest daughter thought it tasted "wierd" and I'm thinking it was probably the cloves. Not bad but just not to our taste.
