Made these tonight! Posting about them tomorrow- so yummy!
Made these tonight….LOVED the recipe!! Tastes like the canned stuff but better! I’ve had homemade sloppy joes before (someone else’s recipe) and was let down. These were so good…so fresh and tangy and sweet and oniony…yummy. Thanks for sharing!
I made this and it was delicious. My boyfriend (mr. anti-healthy food) LOVED them. A very good introduction to healthy eating for those who shy against it.
OH, I am happy to hear he liked it! Thanks for the feedback!
