Man does that look good! Thanks for letting us know about this recipe, I'll definitely have to try it out! The one comment I have to make are my Sloppy Joes are generally limited with no onion, bell pepper, vinegar, ground cloves, or mustard so this will be new to me. Thanks for letting me know about this, and I'll go try it out!

Thanks for the post, however will it make a difference if I have "little breads" or the smaller bun breads from Costco as that is what I always use for all of my sloppy joes. Also, to alison, sloppy joes really do taste better with those things on it (except mustard I just don't like mustard), so you definitely want to go try it out!

Agreed that does look great. HannyD that really does not make a difference so you can use whichever one you want. Hanny I won't be using mustard either but it'll work great.

I too do not like mustard HOWEVER my dad made his sloppy joes very similar to this and used what I like to call a couple little squirts (no measuring). I still make it this way today. You will NOT taste the mustard it just does something for the sj.

Please try it with it!!
