This recipe came about one day I wanted to make Sloppy Joes but I wanted to decrease the amount of tomatoes used…I do not know if this happens to you BUT when I have too many tomatoes my poor tummy is not a happy camper. So the Budget Savvy Diva’s Not So Sloppy Joes came into being

I use just ketchup, mustard, salt pepper and onion for mine. theres also another good one that uses A-1 steak sauce and ketchup. i really didnt think id like it with the a1 but it was really good.
looks yummy
That sounds good … I have a similiar recipe where you use ketchup and bbq sauce along with the other spices used in this recipe … I never tried adding mustard or brown sugar … will have to try it out
We don’t like
Ours that sweet… So we also added chili powder. Thanks for this recipe… I have always just bought the canned stuff. I will do this more often. Tastes better and I have all of this stuff on hand!
