Had this for dinner tonight, it was pretty good. Its a chunky and sweeter version of sloppy joes. My only complaints are that the splenda made it have an after-taste and the green peppers never really softened. So if I was to make it again, I'd use regular sugar (maybe only 1/8 cup) and I'd cook the peppers with the raw ground beef from the beginning. This recipe was very easy. Thanks for posting! -
No more Canned sloppy joes for us! I used the mild diced tomatoes with chiles, since the little ones were eating. Threw in some chopped Vidalia onion- (it's just arrived here, and we love them). I was hoping for leftovers for lunch, but... no luck!! Thanks for a great kid-pleaser!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a retired grandma who loves to try new recipes. I also want to preserve some of our family's favorite recipes and some of the recipes I inherited from my Mother and Grandmother so my children will have them. I love to cook (but not everyday if I can help it) so I like to cook things that give us left-overs. Also, my hubby takes lunch to work five days a week, so I try to cook things that will heat-up in the microwave at his work. I love to knit, read, bird-watch, tinker in the garden and I am discovering old movies. I am quite fond of cats, and sometimes they appear in my recipes - but not as ingredients :-).<img img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpgsrc=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
