Delicious! I added half a small onion and 2 cloves garlic, and used 2/3 cup ketchup and 1/3 cup BBQ sauce. Next time I'll do half ketchup and half chili sauce and maybe cut the brown sugar for something a little less sweet. I'm thinking about using the leftovers in the Barbecue Beef Biscuits from this site. Thanks for a great recipe!

Very good sloppy joes. My husband was tired of my recipe, so I made these. Will make again!

These were good but my family all agreed not great. They tasted somewhat like Manwich. I followed the recipe exactly.

This meal was great. My husband isn't usually a fan of sloppy joe's but he said this was the best sloppy joe he had ever eaten! It did seem like there was too much sauce so I only only used about 3/4 of it. Overall great recipe!!

Very good stuff. I made these over the weekend and put them in the freezer to eat and it worked just great. I used a homemade salsa and toasted my buns so they wouldn't get so soggy. Looking forward to eating the leftovers at work tomorrow.

I loved these! I bought a Medium salsa that was actually rather hot so I should have left the hot sauce out. It was too hot for the kids. I left out the brown sugar because hubby is a diabetic. I only used 1 cup of ketchup. Good stuff!

This is def the best sloppy joe recipe I've tried from AR! The flavor was very different w/the addition of the salsa, however, still just a tad too "ketchupy" & sweet for me. I wish you could give 1/2 stars, this deserves a 4.5!

Had this for dinner tonight with my 5 and 6 year old boys. Very easy, FAST and we all loved it. I made the recipe as-is. I probably had more than a pound of GB since I had some in the fridge to use up, and it was plenty saucy. Note to parents with picky eaters: my 6 year old excavated his sandwich with a fork for the "chunky pieces", next time I think I'll pick picante sauce and use half as much ketchup! definitely toast the buns.

Oh WOW! Spicy hot tangy sweet rich tomatoey YUM. These are sooooo good. I used ranchero salsa and louisiana hot sauce. I added 1 more spoon of sugar to balance the heat. I did add a tsp of minced garlic to the meat as it cooked and about half tsp of chicken bouillion granules and 1/3 c water. I had to simmer this though for an hour to get it thickened. Edible but a bit on the hot side the way I made them maybe louisiana hot cayennepepper sauce isn't the type meant here? Either way, they are delicious!!!

These were the absolute best sloppy joes we have ever had! Most are too sweet for my husband's liking, but these were perfect. What a great idea to add salsa! I didn't add hot sauce since my salsa was of medium heat. I used large hamburger buns, browned under broiler, and topped with shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Thanks so much for great recipe!

This just took the place of another home made Sloppy Joe recipe I've had for many years. Very good. I added onions and green peppers and used less ketchup (I doubled the recipe and didn't have enough) but it worked out great.

This stuff is fantastic! I'll never get the canned mix again. The salsa is a great addition and really lets you control the spiciness. We love spicy, so hot salsa and a little extra hot sauce made this delicious for us.

We thought this version of sloppy joes was good, but I found it to taste like the popular canned version. I will stick with our favorite recipe on here for sloppy joes.

This recipe is delicious. I used turkey sausage links - removed the casings and ground up with onion & garlic. I added all the ingredients in the amounts recommended except the ketchup which I just eyeballed. Sweet & tangy with just a hint of heat from the hot sauce. This will be a go-to recipe from now on.

Oh, wow! Back in college, when I thought that Sloppy Joes grew in cans, the dish didn’t seem fit for human consumption. Now, I’m thinking that canned versions simply can’t compete with the real thing, plus … well, why waste money at the market when this dish is quick, easy & inexpensive? I recently made it for the 5th time and loved seeing my husband & guests return for more. When salsa hasn’t been onhand, Pico De Gallo (for which there are several excellent recipes at this site) has worked great, and on one occasion I used Rotel tomatoes (the type with lime juice & cilantro)—also excellent. I guess there’s no way to ruin this recipe, for which I’m *very* grateful to LV & her mom-in-law. (Thanks, as well, to photographer Avon Lady, whose shot portrays the dish 100% accurately—thick, non-greasy & delightful on big fluffy buns which, like another reviewer, I serve lightly toasted.)
