I'm going to have to try this. I've tried several recipes in the past,
trying to achieve the flavor of the Sloppy Joes my mom used to make. I
think she used the McCormick seasoning powder in the envelope; I'd like
that flavor, but without using the envelope. Most of the recipes I
tried were too sweet-and-sour or too barbeque-saucey for me.

I also like that chipotle powder idea...when in doubt, throw in a little
chipotle!!
