I have tried this a few times. I find that using the powder mix in the packet for sloppy joes is MUCH better than canned. I could def. tell the difference! This is the only reason I did not rate this 5 stars. I hate putting in "changes" in the comments for recipes, as i think they should be rated on the original recipe, however, I think changing the canned to the packet made such a HUGE difference that I have to recommend it!

I had high hopes for this but it just wasn't something we liked. I had to throw it out. I made it as stated. I know other reviewers felt it was too dry. I didn't find that to be the case. The flavors just didn't seem to go well together for me.

I was intrigued by this recipe so had to give it a try. It was a nice change of pace from traditional spaghetti sauce. I did add a little extra sloppy joe sauce. I also sauteed the onion with the meat. I put everything other than the breadcrumbs and cheese in a slow cooker and added those just before serving. I do not like green peppers so I added mushrooms instead but that is just a personal preference. Next time I may try baking this in a casserole and top with Italian cheese. I liked the flavor that the sloppy joe sauce added and would consider adding some to a traditional spaghetti sauce sometime for a variation on this recipe.

Extremely dry. I don't think the bread crumbs were a good addition. I cooked the pepper and onion with the ground beef because I don't think it would be good with them being crunchy. I wont be making this again.

I made this and it came out great. I did saute the onions and peppers. I added 2 cans of sauce instead of 1 used the cheddar cheese, but think I'll try mozzarella cheese next time.

Good flavor. Pretty dry, though. I think it would be better with a tablespoon of Italian seasoning instead of Italian bread crumbs.

This is a great recipe! It is heavily dependant on the quality and quantity of the "sloppy joe mix/sauce". Add reg. yellow mustard to taste for a super zing! I know it is nice to be the inventor of something new, but I have been eating this exact mix for 55 years. I am going to invent the "carrot cake" for dessert next. :b
