Our adult taste-testers described this dish as mildly hot. If your family prefers less kick, adjust the amount of pickled jalapeños (and liquid from the jar) to suit their tastes.
This has been my go to sloppy joe recipe since it was published in Southern Living magazine many years ago. The only thing I add to the recipe is touch of onion or onion powder. I love the spicy bite in it. You really don't have to alter it all.
I've rated this a few years ago and still agree with it! We love it, family and friends love it, and I'm still taking it to the Legion whenever I've signed up for making a dish for Sunday football fans. I have not altered it - it is perfect for anyone that can take a little bit of heat. I hope you enjoy it just as much as all of us do, but make it like the recipe says the first time you prepare it! If you don't like the "kick" - then alter it to your taste or use less jalapeno and juice than called for. I think you'll be glad you did.
This turned out great ! Will make this again!
My hubby has loved sloppy joes since he was a kid in the 70s so I thought I'd make this for him. We BOTH loved this. It's by far the best sloppy joe recipe I've ever made. I did add one chopped onion to the burger when browning though, and it came out fantastic. Thanks for sharing your recipe Richard! : )
This was good. I didn't use worchester sauce since I was out and it still tasted good. Family liked it. Had a nice kick to it without using the hot peppers.
Sloppy Joes have been a Perinial Favourite since Cafeteria Days in Grammar School.My Hunny has waxed Poetic how Delicious these are as well! Men just do not get as Excited as Ladies do over extra easy Recipes. Fits Us for Certain Any day of the Week. So this recipe is a "keeper".
Delicious for a quick dinner. I took Christy Jordan's advice (on the video) and substituted pickle relish for the jalapenos. Definitely a keeper! =^..^=
I made this for my me and my husband and we both LOVED it. I made one alteration though. Instead of using jalapenos, I used half of a green pepper instead and it was incredible. This meal was very filling and tasty. I will definitely be making this again.
My family loves this sloppy joe recipe and has been known to use it as a sauce for coney dogs too. I believe it is important to use a good quality barbecue sauce. I always add more jalapenos and sauce. I also cook it a bit longer to allow the flavors to meld.
My family & I thought this recipe was awesome...won't be looking any further for sloppy joe recipe...this is a keeper!! Only change I made because of prior reviews...I did not add the diced tomatoes...followed the recipe to a 'T', otherwise...loved the kick, but not too spicy.
Really good and fast! I simmered it for about 25 - 30 minutes to melt the flavors and reduce the sauce a bit. I used equal part ketchup and BBQ sauce and left out the jalapenos and vinegar. Used a dash of chipotle chili powder and added a bit of salt. As for "worthy of a special occation" - I would serve this for a casual get together, like a Super Bowl party. Delicious and so easy.
This recipe was very easy and actually the best Sloppy Joe I have ever had. My fiance and I felt like kids again. I used ground buffalo meat and just eyeballed the other ingredients since I used 1/2 the meat than called for. It was perfect for two!
This was an easy, tasty recipe. We made it for a large group of people and everyone enjoyed it. Next time we might use slightly less ketchup, as the ketchup flavor was a little overpowering. Overall, would make it again when I need something quick.
