I am always looking for new ways to get more veg into my families meals, and these were awesome! Although, I'm not sure they still belong in the veg category after what you do to them- they were more like a dessert. But they really dressed up our Sloppy Joe dinner. Don't be afraid to try them even though they sound strange- they are really good and super easy (but don't substitute the Coke with diet or any other variety-- blaugh.) My kids really enjoy them and they've been a hit at many a cub scouting banquet over the years.
