If your ketchup contains a lot of sugar or if you prefer a more savory sloppy joe mixture, you may reduce the amount of brown sugar. You may substitute different types of beans or cheese if you prefer.
My Notes: Double the sauce mixture Add a diced onion and 2 chopped green bell peppers when cooking beef Just use a 32 oz bag of tots Cook for 30 @ 450 👌
Tomato Sauce Alternative: When I doubled the sauce, 6oz Tomato Paste and mixed with water until 2 cups - https://www.delish.com/kitchen-tools/kitchen-secrets/a39513581/tomato-sauce-substitute/
Was absolutely delicious! Used Jimmy Dean sausage and it worked great. Doubled the recipe to just use a full box of ditalini (4 cups) and only used 6 cups of broth
