This is my new favorite recipe! I tweaked it just a bit. I used half an onion, a celery stalk (instead of a green pepper) and 8oz of Velveeta. (It's almost too saucy with that much cheese.) I also used honey hickory smoke bbq sauce. That made it a little sweeter. Love this flavor combo!!!

I was pretty skeptical about this recipe but it turned out pretty good. I used a little more cheese than the recipe called for and it turned out really creamy. It was an easy weeknight recipe and I will definitely be making it again.

Yummy! I dislike sloppy joes overall but saw this recipe and thought I could stomache this recipe for the sake of my husband and child. I enjoyed it and am making it again for the second time!

This recipe was good, I only added a small bit of water as it was needed at the end of cooking. Otherwise would not have used it. I also added diced jalapenos for a bit of spice.

These are easy to make and we like them way better than manwich sloppy joes.
