My youngest son and husband gave ratings of 5. I rated a four but that was just because I thought it was a little sweet but still very good. Loved the simplicity of this meal.

I live in PA, and while we don't have any coal mining in my area that I know of, the next town over is a steel town, where my mother lived for a while growing up. She makes a BBQ very similar to this one (though she doesn't add vinegar). It had very good flavor, and was super quick, easy, and cheap to make for our lunch yesterday. We both liked it, though I think I might have preferred a touch more vinegar.

Visiting my Gram's farm in NW Iowa was always a treat because this is what she made, only we called it Taverns, and it was my favorite. I've been married 25 years and this is something I often made for my family as well. I sometimes alter the recipe depending on my mood. If I want a kick, I add horseradish, if I want it sweeter I add more ketchup and brown sugar (and please don't exchange the ketchup for tomato sauce or you'll just ruin the effect). This is really good, quick, fast and uses ingredients you already have. So what are you waiting for?

UPDATE: I've made this numerous times and it's always good EXCEPT for the last time I made it. I didn't have white vinegar so I substituted apple cider vinegar. NOT A GOOD IDEA. It gave it a really strange, unpleasant taste and smell. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This was very good. My family of five just doesn't like the canned versions of sloppy joes (we've tried them all!) I've also tried some others from this site with no success. This recipe had a very nice taste, not too tangy, not too sweet. I'll definitely keep this recipe on hand for a quick meal idea that doesn't require a run to the store.

WOW!!! This dish really had my taste buds going wild with the flavors of SWEET AND TANGY at the same time. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked it because of the strong tangy flavor then all of a sudden you tasted the sweet. A very nice fun balance of flavors {****}, compliment it with a COLD BEER and it rates {*****} Great job Mollypitcher, and thank you for the COAL-PACKER Barbecue recipe.

The best sloppy joe ever! I didn't have the white vinegar on hand so I substituted white wine vinegar instead. Just as good! Other than that I followed the recipe exact! This is a keeper for sure!

I wanted to surprise my husband with a "hometown" dish (he is from Scranton, PA). I followed the recipe except I used tomato paste instead of ketchup and it turned out excellent. We will definitely be making this again.

In a family of five, two people rated it a 5 and 3 people rated it a 4. I increased the mustard to 1 T, and decreased the sugar to 3/4 T. and substituted tomato sauce for the ketchup. Then, I doubled the recipe - we had very little left over. It was a hit, and I loved it because it was super easy and quick for a hectic night.

This is a great alternative to purchasing those overpriced sloppy joe packets, especially when most households have most of these ingredients in the house anyway. I did add more brown sugar, and ketchup. The good thing about this recipe is that you can add more ingredients if needed once you taste it, and customize it. I think I have seen the last time that I purchase the packets, Thanks!!

I made this for dinner last night and it was a hit! My husband was apprehensive, as the ingrediants were pretty simple and few, but he LOVED IT! I didnt have buns so we used bread, or just ate it as is. I added 2 tbsp more brown sugar, and I used ketchup as written. I liked it with the ketchup, as it is sweeter and my family LOVES ketchup! Thanks!

My husband says it is better than Manwhich (and he is a huge fan of that). I used tomato sauce as recommended by another reviewer. Also I made about 1/4 extra of the sauce and cooked it a bit longer to let the flavors really set (in the 1/4 sauce batch I used a bit less sugar). Yum.

This is EXCELLENT!! Our family loved this. My 2 year old doesn't like bread but ate 3 huge spoonfuls. Next time I will double the recipe so I have leftovers. My husband ate his on a buns, but I ate mine on rice and let me tell you what, that is very, very good. It doesn't taste like sloppy joes at all. We really enjoyed this and I will be making it a lot in the future. The only change was adding 1 TBSP water to it because it seemed to thick.

I thought that this was going to be great based on the reviews, even though I was skeptical. And I should have known better. This recipe is sickly sweet. Not for me.

This was wonderful...I grew up with Man-Wich...and my husband grew up with just ketchup and meat....This was a perfect blend of both...I have been sauteing onions, bell pepper & fresh garlic in a tbs of sesame oil. Then putting that aside and brown the the beef, after draining of the fat....you mix back in the onions and bell pepper mix. It retains the juice so they dont get drained off with the fat....

I'm a sloppy joe fanatic. I have a half-dozen recipes for it, but this one shot to the top and I'm throwing several out. I took a taste as it was cooking, and was worried that it would be too sweet. But after it simmered and the flavors combined, it was fine.

Wow! I will never look at a can of Manwich the same way again. I ate my share of "sloppy joes" as a kid; I always found the sauce to be overpowering, gloppy and too tomato-y. This recipe, however, has just the right amount of moisture and a really nice combination of flavors. I did have to use spicy brown mustard in lieu of yellow, since I was out. Next time I will add hot sauce for more kick--though I don't think you really need to add or omit anything from this simple, fabulous dish. I served this on toasted/lightly buttered English muffins, which is the way I've always eaten my Manwich. My only complaint is that I didn't make enough!
