“I am not sure what happened here. I usually love your recipes! But hardly anyone in our family would eat this! I’m not sure if it was too acidic and not enough sweet. We have never made Sloppy Joe’s before amd weren’t sure what to expect. Maybe the tomato sauc” — a cook
“I MADE THIS LAST NIGHT & SERVED WITH A GREEN SALAD. IT IS DELICIOUS & EASY. I JUST COOK FOR ME SO I CUT THE RECIPE IN HALF & WILL HAVE A COUPLE OF DAYS OF LEFT OVERS. NEXT TIME I WILL MAKE THE FULL RECIPE & FREEZE THE LEFT OVERS AFTER I TAKE” — a cook, 5★
