Buffalo Sloppy Joes

And yet another Taste of Home recipe!  I realized of all the magazines that come through the house, this is one magazine I really use.  I've gifted it to several people and just cant't say enough about it.

My only changes to this recipe is to only add a little hot sauce (I used Frank's) so that it isn't too spicy for the kids, and then put the hot sauce on the table to add more as desired.  It is best on sturdy buns.  Regular hamburger buns get pretty soggy quickly.
