I make this w/out the peppers, but instead I use chopped onion. Also, I think using the tomato sauce makes it too tomatoey, so I leave it out. We li8ke Stubb's barbeque sauce.

I think the last time I had sloppy joe’s was as a kid and I don’t remember liking it very much. found the Neely’s recipe and was intrigued by the bbq sauce. Everyone seemed to like this recipe and I HAVE TO AGREE!!! it’s sooo tasty! will definitely make again!
I added chopped red onion that i browned. the cup of bbq sauce (i used the honey bbq sauce from Kraft. a must have! was alittle bit much, so I added brown sugar as someone recommended, which cut down the taste of the bbq sauce. added alittle more tabasco and cayenne pepper as well.
made sure i juiced out some of that oil/fat after cooking down the meat before adding the rest of the ingredients.
next time, I will make the Neely’s BBQ sauce, as everyone seems to rave about :
