“I thought maybe people were exaggerating about the sweetness but it really was too sweet. But I fixed it by adding lots of ground pepper, and splash of Frank's hot sauce, doubled the mustard, and I thought it needed something else so I added a pinch of ground ” — a cook, 4★
“Way too sweet, and I like sweet. Sloppy joes should be spicy sweet. I used coconut sugar which isn't as sweet as brown sugar. I recommend adding a little brown sugar at a time until it is sweet enough got you. I ended up added twice the mustard and chili powde” — a cook, 4★
