This was great and very easy exactly as the recipe was written. Way better than Manwich with minimal extra work. I think I'll reduce the cloves (b/c I will make it again) just b/c that isn't my taste. Grandma's always have the good recipes.

I have a recipe very similar to this. Rather than cloves I use a little allspice. I've also made this as is and added 1 can of tomato soup, then add to cooked elbow macaroni with 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese mixed in for a quick supper that my 3 boys LOVE.

I have pretty much the same recipe as this without the green pepper and cloves. The cloves were a little too overwhelming for it. I don't agree with the previous reviewer that Manwich is better.

This recipe was definitely not what I expected based on the reviews. Generally I think Manwich produces a better product than this with much more ease. I even tried using ¼ t. ground cloves, extra brown sugar and vinegar with no success at saving the dinner.

My boys are young and never had a sloppy joe. This was their first try and they both really enjoyed them. I followed the recipe to the letter and it was very tasty and easy to prepare. This is a keeper.

An excellent recipe! We let it simmer longer than 30 minutes and it just kept getting thicker and better tasting. We served it on wheat hamburger buns with corn on the cob, carrot sticks and potato chips as sides. The sloppy joes were so good everyone had two each!

This recipe is easy and very good. However, I used A1 sauce instead of the cloves. It was very good. I also added garlic. It is really good. Very kid friendly and fast.

Thanks for this easy recipe and all the helpful reviews. Cloves are a 'love' or 'hate' spice usually. Taste and adjust as most reviewers have. I used tomato sauce and sweetener instead of ketchup because of sugar content and omitted brown sugar.

I gave this 5 stars but I just kind of used the recipe as a guide. I used the peppers and onions, 1/2c ketchup and 1/2c Bull's Eye BBQ Sauce (it gave it a strong BBQ flavor but it's my SO's favorite), 1tbsp distilled white vinegar, I chopped up garlic cloves (3 I think) and seasoned w/salt, pepper and garlic salt (we like a lot of garlic). We LOVED it!!!

Very easy to make, and smelled great in the kitchen. We omitted the peppers, because we aren't big fans of peppers. My husband and son thought that the clove flavor were too overwhelming even though I only added 1/2 tsp. Next time maybe I'll only add 1/4 tsp...because the flavor was good otherwise.

This is an easy, tasty recipe, but I would either omit the cloves or put in just a shake. The cloves were too overpowering.

My husband made this up and loved it! He said next time he would add a little more brown sugar but I disagree. Also it did not mention when to add the brown sugar.

This was very good with the exception of the ground cloves which I suggest decreasing to 1/4 tsp.
