My DH normally swears by name brand joe mix – he said this was pretty close to the “real thing” although I did catch him adding a dash of homemade Franks Hot sauce to it!

easier than tomato sauce and chili sauce (and cheaper): use 2 cups catsup.
going to give this a try for supper tonight!
my homemade sloppy joe mix is similar. i also use tomato catsup in it. amount varies depending on the amount i am making.
i also use it for hot dog sauce.
yum!! good eats!
looks pretty good. i don’t have a recipe for sloppy joe’s, just use worcheshire sauce, ketchup, mustard, and a little bbq sauce for flavor. brown beef and sometimes dried onions.
so simple and everyone asks i do it.
i’ll have to try your recipe too. :lets-eat:
Meals like this have been saving my hide this summer with baseball every night! Love the addition of the beans! Pinned 🙂
This looks simply delish. I love that it is a one pot meal. I can’t wait to try it.
What a fun way to use squash! I am making butternut squash tonight, but am going to have to try this next time!
This recipe looks awesome!!! Since I don’t use grain flour, do you think almond or coconut flour would work well as a substitute? Thanks!
Considering the recipe doesn’t contain any type of flour, no substitutions are necessary. 😉
This is an awesome easy fall dinner! I love the contrasting textures and flavors.
