“This is so different and so much better than the Sloppy Joes I grew up with! Definitely a regular in our house now. The only changes I made was to eliminate mushrooms, and use regular potatoes rather than sweet potatoes. This recipe is a winner - thank you!” — a cook, 5★
“So good! Best sloppy joe I’ve had and the sweet potato was way better than a bun. I did use 1lb of beef and doubled the vinegar and Worcestershire. Also, let simmer longer to soften the carrots. My kids loved it and rated it a million out of 10!” — a cook, 5★
