Pumpkin Sloppy Joes image

When my oldest granddaughter gave me eight of the 50 pumpkins she grew in her backyard, I didn't know how I'd use them all up! Then I remembered this recipe from a dear friend-I'm glad I tried it. I froze some of the pumpkin to use in this and other recipes, and also froze some of the sloppy joe mixture to enjoy later.-Eleanor McReynolds, Scott City, Kansas

These were a big hit at my party! I made them ahead of time and they were just as good the next day.

The sloppy joes were good, but I didn't think the pumpkin flavor really came through. I might try adding more pumpkin puree next time.

I found the sloppy joes to be a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid next time, maybe some tomato juice or broth.

The pumpkin sloppy joes were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.
