Easy Pumpkin Sloppy Joes image

Stirring canned pumpkin into sloppy joe meat may seem strange, but everyone is pleasantly surprised by these. Add cloves, nutmeg and chili powder for extra oomph, then plunk dill slices on top. -Donna Musser, Pearl City, Illinois

I'm giving this recipe 4 stars. It was easy to make and the sloppy joes were tasty. However, I think they could have been better if I had used a different type of bread.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. I probably won't make it again.

The sloppy joes were a little dry. I think I should have added more sauce.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less pumpkin puree next time.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but I really enjoyed these sloppy joes. The pumpkin flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I made a double batch and froze half of it for later.

I've never had pumpkin in a sloppy joe before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. It was delicious!

Easy to make and really tasty! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it turned out great.

These pumpkin sloppy joes were a hit with my family! The pumpkin puree added a subtle sweetness that balanced out the savory flavors of the beef and spices. I also liked the addition of the cornbread crumbs, which gave the joes a nice texture.
