I hear Chicago tap water will do that to you.
You should get a time out for this offense that bans you from this forum until after the President’s Day school vacation. Dunce hat optional.
Having grown up in strictly kosher home, I have never had Manwich, Spam and a few other similar concoctions. I think I am none the worse for 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).

Diabetes diagnosis makes me real big on sugar content. Heinz makes a low sugar ketchup that is very good. BBQ sauce is a problem, so I now make my own with that ketchup and sugar free “maple” syrup. Salsa can be tricky - depends on the brand. Tomatoes have more natural sugar than most veggies (remember they are fruits, not veggies) but relatively speaking, they are OK in moderation.
The bottled tomato sauce I bought at my local Shop Rite for when I’m lazy or don’t have much time:
Ingredients: Imported Italian Tomatoes, Pure Italian Olive Oil, Fresh Basil, Fresh Onions, Fresh Garlic, Sea Salt, and Spices.
They are out there
Of course my most horrifying discoveries were the guacamole which has HFCS as its first ingredient before avocadoes and the corn muffins which have sugar as its first ingredient before corn meal.
Im a terrible father. Served this tonight because I don’t feel like cooking. How bad can it be right? Sloppy joes all around.
f*ck me. This stuff is awful. Was it this bad when I was a kid? More sugar than I can handle.
Anyone have a sloppy joe recipie they like?
In a few years, life will get easier, when you can give them just beers and chips, without guilt.

What’s to argue about? Hamburger bun from bread aisle of chain grocery store, sesame seeds, oversized, toasted not in the least.
Nah, you’re missing out. Oversized buns don’t work for sloppy’s. Pedestrian white bun, butter and broil, a little mayo, a slice of Kraft all american cheese and the sloppy mix. The butter and broil gives the bun a nice crusaty ring around the edges that keeps the meat inside the buns and off your hands. (made with the soup because tomato paste or tomato sauce makes it too acidic and too tomatoey. Is that a word? The soup has far less sugar than the previous recipes and with the tomato you need sugar to balance the acid. Just not too much. Besides, the herbs balance out all the flavors nicely. YMMV.
We’re talking sloppy joe’s, what next Flannery ground beef and brioche?
Tonight I made Sloppy Joes with Flannery Grind on Brioche Buns. Just sayin’.

How was it? My husband loves Sloppy Joes, and I think theyre disgusting. Flannery could be (and already has been) a marriage saver!

How was it?
Actually it turned out great. The Flannery meat is much richer than regular ground beef and it adds another level of flavor and texture to the recipe.
