“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, 5.0★
“Best I ever had! I added celery just because I like it in Sloppy Joe’s. I forgot to put the mustard in it and I kept thinking something was missing I added the mustard and oh my goodness did that put the depth of flavor it needed. This will be a go to recipe. ” — a cook, 5.0★
