Very similar recipe to what I do... but I do in a large fry pan with cover, and just set on low. Also use catsup for the tomato sauce, and squeeze in some prepared mustard. I don't add the cheese though, instead serve with a slice of American Cheese and dill pickle slices. In MI, we called that a Sagatuck BBQ.

I am going to try this. my daughter is such a picky eater but loves ground beef.

mm, thanks... was going to buy loads of lean ground beef as it is on a great sale and was wondering what else I could do with it.
Today is an experimental crock pot meatloaf.

I just read the recipe too and it hit the spot. Will be having it this weekend when we have our bar-b-que.

I did try this recipe and it was a hit!!!! Thanks so much for adding another recipe to our favorites.

We tried it here last week too. Had no BBQ sauce and had to make my own in order to make the sloppy joes. Turned out A1.
Thanks for sharing!
