Sloppy Janes

No I have not up and joined the circus. My camera however, may have! I have lost it. I hate to post without pictures but I have been cooking A LOT lately and wanted to share this one because Mike loved this. I know that isn't too shocking expect that this is a wieght watchers type recipe. Mike loves sloppy joes. He was excited to hear I was making them but got confused when no manwich can was around. We both really liked this recipe. So much we took it for lunch the next day. I made a few mods to the recipe, they are below in red.
