RACHAEL RAY'S SUPER SCRUMPTIOUS SLOPPY JOES



Rachael Ray's Super Scrumptious Sloppy Joes image

This recipe is from Food Network's Rachael Ray. I like it b/c it uses tomato sauce instead of ketchup, and you can spice it up as you like. I add more onions as well as some garlic. * I like to use a little less brown sugar, as we like ours spicier rather than sweet.
