    Sloppy Jane doesn’t taste The same as a sloppy Joe, however it’s a nice switch up, especially if you have dietary restrictions due to diabetes ❤️ So glad I found this SLOPPY JANE recipe on diabetes food hub!

    Not very good. If you like ground turkey you may like it though.

    I omitted the hot sauce and tomato paste and substituted two tablespoons of sugar free bbq sauce. It gave it the perfect sloppy Joe flavor.

    I was disappointed by this recipe. If you are looking for a Sloppy Joe substitute, this isn’t it. It tastes overwhelmingly like crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. I added cumin and chili powder to give it some taste. That salvaged it, but made it taste like Coney Island or chili.
