My better half was a little bit skeptical at first, but after testing it loved it! We didn't use carrots. Instead we used more red onions and sweet peppers.

Very good - especially for feeding children. I removed the carrots because my son nor I a re big carrot fans; otherwise, this is a quick and easy meal that I can prepare on those nights when my time is short.

We make this often. We've tried turkey or lean beef and they both taste good. We've also experimented with different flavors of BBQ sauce - sweet, spicy, etc - and like a sweeter BBQ best.

I made this with turkey and it came out great. I love the way you can hide the carrots in this but only one of my kids ate this. I would definitely make this again.

My husband likes "regular" Sloppy Joe's better.

Who knew healthy could be so tasty? This recipe was a big hit with my hubby! The flavors were amazing. I added a splash of worcestershire sauce to the BBQ sauce before mixing it in with the other ingredients. This will be a regular in our recipe repertoire, especiall for busy week-nights.

I added extra carrots & red pepper; used sweet onion. Sauteed meat separately so could drain better; then added to veggies. Lots of chopping so suggest prepare veggies ahead. Then meal is faster to assemble.
