Crosby Elementary School Sloppy Joes--Adapted image

Crosby Elementary School via the Food Network. These remind me of those I loved as a child--except I do not remember any crunch to those. Thus, I have adapted this recipe to saute the vegetables briefly with the beef. WARNING: These are VERY sweet, so adjust the amount of ketchup and/or brown sugar to moderate that, if desired. If you wish to increase the amount of vegetables, without anyone noticing :-) you can, as I did, add a few tablespoons of finely diced eggplant to the vegetables when sauteing them.

These sloppy joes were a bit too sloppy for my taste. I would recommend using less sauce.

I'm not a big fan of sloppy joes, but these were actually pretty good. The sauce was flavorful and the meat was tender.

These sloppy joes were just okay. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the meat was a little dry.
