These were absolutely the best sloppy joes I have ever tasted! I always have used the "canned" stuff with browned ground beef and I really didn't like them although my family did. When I decided to try this recipe, I was very pleased. I did omit adding the jalapenos and hot sauce when making the recipe. My husband added them to his sandwiches when I served them. My friend always uses a Mexican brand hot tomato sauce and that is what I had on hand so I put that in in place of the called for tomato sauce. I did have left overs as there are only 2 of us at home now, but I imagine the left overs will not last long! Thanks again for submitting this recipe, it is definitely a "keeper" and I will be making it again soon. Claudine Fort Worth, TX

These sloppy joes were wonderful! They had just the right blend of ingredients. They were flavorful and spicy, and the jalapenos weren't over powering at all. In fact, we added a few extra :)
