I'd hafta test it. What catches my eye is the lack of bell pepper in the
recipe, an ingredient I thought was traditional/crucial to real sloppy joe
sauce. I don't know, never having made my own, but thought I would mention
it.

When I make them, green pepper doesn't enter in unless I have some that
has to go. Ground beef, onion, maybe a little garlic (maybe not),
ketchup, mustard, maybe a little barbecue sauce, some water to make it
sloppy.

(I'm going to post the Souperburger recipe.)
