I have been hankering for sloppy joe.  Guess what we are having for lunch.  So glad to find this recipe.  Thanks.

We just finished lunch and I gotta tell ya, this recipe is a keeper.  I added 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke and that made it perfect.  Don't forget to add salt at the end.

I am making a cookbook for myself (work in progress) with only the best low carb recipes, this one is going in today.  Can't wait to try more recipes.  There are a lot here, it will take a while.  Thanks again, umpa.
