Sloppy Joes

SUBMITTED BY: Sandra Castillo

"In Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, Sandra Castillo simmers up a big batch of this tangy sandwich filling, then freezes the extras. 'Just thaw and reheat it for a quick dinner. It's also good for larger gatherings,' she writes."

Yum! A real kid pleaser. Being true to my nature I had to make a modification or two: I used half the amount of onion and I added some crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick. I served it with homemade fries. We have a lot of full tummies this evening! Thanks for sharing.

I really liked the BBQ flavor and all the spices, but there was a little too much onion for my taste.
