We made the sloppy joes off of this recipe (approximately half). Of course, I made a lot of changes. First of all, I added some balsamic vinaigrette on the idea of a few other recipes. It was good and I liked the sharpness. I then also used a bit more ketchup and some more mustard. I also added a lot of freshly minced garlic. It is interesting how much variety there seems to be with the tomato base of the recipe. Some use sauce, ketchup, tomato paste and/or pureed tomatoes. I guess they would all have their benefits. This one was very good but, not surprisingly, salty. Finally, instead of the peppers/carrots, I used diced chillies. Pretty low points too. See below. We will be making these again!

The soup was pretty good even though it didn't really go with the meal. Meredith wanted a lighter soup (not pureed and thick). Started with chopped celery, onion and bunch of mushrooms. plus chicken brother (or water and bouillon). Thankfully, the mushrooms shrunk a bit. I added some soy sauce and sriracha plus ginger, garlic and onion powders. It was good but, also not surprisingly salty.

Points (made 4 sandwiches for two people):

9 oz extra lean beef...9

Ketchup...1

Brown Sugar...1

Arnolds...(1 for first, 2 after)

soup...0
