I made this recipe the other night. It was okay for the hubby and I but my Kids did NOT enjoy it. It would have been okay if I didn't use the pepper or chili pepper. I even cut down the amount and it was still to much. I think I could make this again for the fam if I take cut most of the pepper out. The veggis add the flavor it needs as well as the vinegar... Overall it was good though!

I was so excited about this recipe but it did not come up to my expectations. I am still looking for a good veggie sloppy Joe recipe...perhaps I will use the lentil meatloaf recipe and do sloppy Joes the next night.

I really did not care for this recipe, and neither did my family. I cut the chili powder way back, but it still didn't make it taste right. I think it needed more beans, maybe with another can of kidney beans mashed up? Not sure how to salvage it, really. We ate it, but I probably won't make it again.

I'd suggest cutting back on the tomato and adding some additional spices as it tasted a good deal like marinara after made.

Didn't even use any tomato paste or celery. Instead, used 1 green bell pepper and only 1/2 freshly diced tomato. For spices, I used paprika, cumin, red pepper, black pepper, salt, and dinosaur barbecue cajun spice (in amounts that seasoned the mixture to my personal tastes). When everything was in skillet, one must "mash" the beans with spatula in order to get more of a sloppy joe like texture. I added white wine vinegar to mixture sparingly and slowly, otherwise it tends to cover up the other spices. After making these changes, the recipe was amazing. It's a keeper!

Good base for sloppy joes but a little too much like chili... instead of tomato paste, I mashed some of the beans and that seemed to thicken without adding too much tomato flavor. By the end, I probably added all the chili powder and was still ransacking the spice cabinet as it was missing something. However, it was totally edible as there were no leftovers.

As many others have said, this recipe is absolutely delicious. What I love the most about it is that it's so customizable to personal taste and you can pretty much make it any way you want, but works great as a general guideline. Thanks for adding this recipe!

This is a great veggie sloppy joe recipe, although there is nothing unsloppy about them. I omitted celery (didn't have) and didn't follow measure, I just used 1 onion, 2 big carrots, i green pepper, etc. used balsamic vinegar instead of white, and added 3 or 4 tbsp tomato paste to make it more sloppy joe-ish, and I added 2 tbsp brown sugar. So even tho I totally altered it; it was a great guideline for making a great vegetarian dish! Thank you

I've made this twice now, and I really love it. I do find chopping the veggies kind of tedious, but it has to be done. I have been leaving out the celery and vinegar just because I don't like those things, and I've been adding cayenne pepper along with the chili powder because I love spicy! Its definitely a hearty sandwich, and it keeps well, too.

These were great! A really nice alternative to the normal meaty, messy Joe. I used red onion. The scooped out kaiser bread made a great bread pudding.

The recipe was delicious. Hopefully you read the comments beforehand and use only a teaspoon of chili powder and not tablespoon. That would be way to much, I also added in the same amount of brown sugar that I added in of chili powder, simmered for 3 hours and it was simply delicious and had a surprisingly similar taste to Manwich.

This is just how I remember sloppy joes, minus the meat, of course.

We did not think this tasted like Sloppy Joe's at all. (We've never had real homemade sloppies, though. We always eat Manwhich.) I'm thinking about trying a version using the veggies suggested here, but using Manwhich instead of making out own sauce. We may like that because it wasn't the veggies we had an issue with, it was the sauce. As the recipe is written, it only gets two stars from me. We will never make the sauce again, but I'm holding out judgement on the veggie portion...
