Pretty darn good. I did use only 2lbs. of meat and then doubled up on the chilli sauce . The onion and celery was a good addition. I saw in other posts where the writer felt the joes were to "dry".....just add more chilli sauce and that will take care of the problem. Nor Did I think it was too sweet{ maybe because of the extra CS?}.This will be my sloppy joe recipe from here on out.

I found this recipe searching for sloppy Joe with chili sauce. I think it’s key to any proper Joe, but unused in so many Joe recipes. This is easy, as the name implies. Few ingredients too. Sweet is fine and I expect some in my personal Joe preference. Sorry to say, that’s where my kudos end though. First of all, 3 lbs. of ground beef for 6 servings? Wow! I like to eat heartily, but still, I made this recipe with only 1 lb. and got respectable helpings on 6 open face bun halves. (I left out the celery too, had none.)This 1lb. could also translate into, at least, 3 very, very generous closed bun Joes (probably a little too much for children’s portions.) It would also be 6 reasonably portioned closed Joes when served with sides. If you can stand a little more math, this 3lb. recipe should yield at least 9 super-sized to, perhaps, 18 sensibly served sloppy joe sandwiches, on normal sized hamburger buns. Also I used over ½ a bottle of chili sauce for my 1lb. I used the appropriate scaled amount of vinegar with 1 Tbsp. of Worcestershire sauce. What little sauce there was, seemed watery. The chili sauce added flavor and colored the watery sauce, but disappeared into the meat, instead of making a thick, sloppy sauce. It needs tomato sauce or ketchup or something. Note; more, and thicker, sauce would also add further volume to the portions.

These were great! My 2-year-old LOVED them and even asked for seconds! MUCH better than the canned stuff.

Delicious and easy! Even better than the kind in a can. I will make this often, I'm sure.

This is a great recipe. I didn't add the celery but added everything else and it was a hit.My husband loves sloppy joes but couldn't eat the canned stuff, he is happy I found this recipe.

We LOVe these joes. I no longer buy the seasoning pkt kind & I'm sure to stay stocked up on bottled chili sauce as I have all the other ingredients on hand already. We put shredded cheddar on top of them before topping w/ the bun.

Yummy...happens to be really easy and good!! Use this all the time although mine dont like onions. Just leave them out tried this all different ways all in. some of this or that....Main thing is the chili and vinegar and brown sugar...other then that its all up to you green peppers are good also.

Yummy!!! cut recipe in half but used about 8 ounces chili sauce instead of just 6.

Easy and Great flavor

This is a good basic recipe...if you like your sloppy joes more tangy than sweet you won't like these. My only subsitition was I used ground turkey and 1/4 lb. ground sausage instead of the ground beef.

Awesome recipe with lots of flavor! I add some garlic for a little extra zing, and my honey likes a bit of hot sauce too! This is the only thing my picky 5 year old has ever requested that I make again!

A little to sweet. Not exactly what I was looking for but edible.

It eas pretty good, nothing spectacular.
