There are 2 C of finely chopped carrots and a whole green pepper "hidden" in this dish, and we greatly enjoyed the addition!

This looks so good! But I am not a huge ketchup eater. Do these taste ketchupy? I don't think that's even a word. LOL If it does, is there anything else I can use instead of ketchup? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGod bless,

@ Amanda -
ReplyDeleteYou can use tomato sauce in place of the ketchup, you just might need to add a bit more vinegar and/or brown sugar.
These sloppy joes sound awesome!
