I heard back from my brother in law who cooked Sloppy Joes for 80 (!!) at the homeless shelter in December.

This looks much less sugary than some of the recipes here. And as he points out, there is little kitchen work required to put this together, mostly opening jars and bottles. It smelled great and I think it must have tasted quite good.

1 LB ground beef, drained (I use 80% for flavor)
1-1/2 tsp. chili powder
1-1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
½+ tsp. coarse black pepper
1/3 c. dry chopped onion
1T+. vinegar
1T+. Worcestershire
1T+. Prepared yellow mustard
3T. minced red bell pepper (only effort required!)
3/4c. ketchup (I use Heinz)
3/4c. tomato sauce
6T. salsa
2T. barbeque sauce
2T. tomato paste
1/2tsp. granulated garlic

Simmer all for at least 20 minutes. Recommend to make at least a day in advance of serving.

Easy to make and lots of flavors; to serve 80, multiply by 20!!

“Mostly opening jars and bottles” basically guarantees that something is going to be very sugary.
I mean these ingredients alone have a ton of sugar in them:
3/4c. ketchup (I use Heinz)
3/4c. tomato sauce
6T. salsa
2T. barbeque sauce

and bell peppers are very sweet.

Tomato sauce with sugar? I’m assuming you mean added sugar? Nothing I buy ever has added sugar in it.

Yes on ketchup and (most) barbecue sauce; no on tomato sauce and (most) salsa.

Ketchup averages 55 grams of sugars per cup. Heinz is a bit higher at 64g/cup.

Barbecue sauce averages 65 grams of sugars per cup. Kraft Original is well above average, at 104 g/cup.

Tomato sauce, on the other hand, averages 10.4 grams of sugars per cup. Hunt’s is a bit lower: 8g/cup. That’s the natural sugars in the tomatoes, by the way: the ingredient list does not include any sugars.

Salsa averages 4 grams of sugars per cup. Pace Thick & Chunky is higher, at 16 g/cup.

“Very sweet”? That depends on the individual palate. But bell peppers most certainly are not high in sugars. Green bell peppers average 2.4 grams of sugars per 100 grams (3.58 grams of sugars per cup of chopped peppers). Red bell peppers, as you might expect, are higher in sugars - but still low: 4.2g/100g (6.3g/cup chopped).

That can of tomato soup at 23g sugar/10-3/4oz can is looking downright diet now.

I just got a shiver up my spine with the “mayo” reference. Sheesh

There’s something genetically wrong with people who don’t like mayo.

Mayo is the spawn of Satan.

Bro. Fleming’s google fu is strong. It probably took him less than 5 minutes to find that info.
