  2. Stir in kidney beans, and cook an additional 5 minutes.
  3. Cut a 1/4 inch slice off the top of each kaiser roll; set aside. Hollow out the center of each roll, leaving about 1/2 inch thick shells; reserve the inside of rolls for other uses.
  4. Spoon bean mixture evenly into rolls and replace tops. Serve immediately.

I was hoping I would like this but didn't. It's nothing like sloppy joe. It's like eating beans on a bun.

This recipe reminded me of the sloppy joes that my mother-in-law used to make. I thought it came out quite well. I followed the other reviewers recommendations and doubled the amount of onion, green pepper, carrots and garlic. I skipped the celery and added a red pepper for that. I also left the amount of kidney beans stay the same. I used 6 fresh roma tomatoes rather than canned. Finally, I used about 1.25 tablespoons of chili powder and cut the amount of black pepper to about 1/4 teaspoon. This is a very fast recipe to prepare and I will definitely make it again in the future. Thanks, KDCG for sharing it.

Delicious! I am a vegetarian and a lazy cook, so finding easy recipes that I can make is a challenge. This was perfect. I did omit the onions, but followed the recipe exactly. It was so good I made it 2 nights in a row! This will definitely be added to my recipe rotation.
