Is there supposed to be some water in this recipe? I added a tomato paste can of water because my mixture was very dry.
Nope, I didn’t need any water but if your mixture seems too thick it doesn’t hurt to add some, maybe your paste was thicker?
I also add some bell pepper in mine. It was delicious 😋
Just made this and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you for the awesome recipe!
You are very welcome, so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
My whole family loved it! Will def make again. This ”sloppy joe” sauce mixture is amazing. I’ve used it in other recipes and have eaten in a pita wrap as well. So good!
That is so awesome to hear! Glad everyone enjoyed it 🙂
This was absolutely delicious! However I’m having some trouble with the points. I entered it in the ww recipe builder and it came out to 8 pts on blue? I even used Velveeta shreds cheese which was less points than yours (8 pts per cup). I think where the highest points were besides the tator tots was the tomato paste? Why is tomato paste 7 points per can? I thought tomatoes were 0? I can’t figure out how to get it to come out to 6 pts?
Hi Jennifer, yeah that is too high for the paste, you used a 5.5oz can which is the tiny one? I think it’s 2-3 points depending on brand.. my tater tots were 22 points, ketchup was 1 point, cheese 9, brown sugar 2.. I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂
