Wanted: SLOPPY JOES!
My darling hubby has requested Sloppy Joes for dinner sometime this week. I grabbed a can of Sloppy Joe Sauce at the grocery store and just checked the label. Sugar was the second ingredient on the list after tomato paste. It calls for spices. Does anyone have a WLS friendly recipe for the sauce. I've got the tomato paste covered...need a little help on the spices.
Thank you in advance!
