“These Sloppy Joes are amazing. I had to laugh when my granddaughter asked how to eat it?! She didn't like the messiness of a bun, but loved eating it by itself. Incredible flavor with just the right tang and sweetness and yes, the messiness is well worth it” — a cook, 5.0★
“I had what I thought was a pretty decent Sloppy Joe recipe. This version blows mine out of the water. Such a simple dish, but so savory and flavorful. The herbs and spices take it to next level in terms of flavor. I used a green bell pepper instead of red,” — a cook, 5.0★
