    This is a very good recipe, but to make what I grew up in Cleveland knowing as “real” Sloppy Joe’s, I added a tablespoon Worcestershire, a 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, and a cup each of diced red peppers, sweet onions and celery.

    Halved the recipe and eyeballed the measurements. My 9 year old, picky eaters, twin boys loved it -- both ate 2! Forgot to add salt but noone noticed. I thought the brown sugar and ketchup are great!

    7 15 15... http://allrecipes.com/recipe/233131/pork-rites-taverns/... Well maybe a pound here is less than the first reviewers. Mine was soupy.

    The taste was good but after straining the meat several times I still couldn't get the grease out. Served to others and received no compliments at all. Probably would not make again.

    we all really liked it. I followed the ingredients of the sauce BUT did double the sauce. I like thick saucy Joe's. it was very flavorful yet simple. I didn't have to chop anything up. my husband and I usually like to discuss about tweaking recipes while eating. he said he wouldn't change a thing

    Absolutely needed more sauce. I added some cayenne pepper and minced onions. Used half ground turkey and half ground pork.

    Yum.. I loved this. I did also double the sauce and even so don't expect this to be saucy like a sloppy joe. I love ground pork and this was a great way to enjoy it

    I tried this recipe and it was a hit with my family. The only thing I did was double the sauce part add a chopped onion and also added 1/4 tsp of chipotle cayenne pepper. It was amazing!
