I remember growing up eating Sloppy Joes, and I am sure you did too. Kids love ’em and Grown-ups love ’em. They are so delicious!
You cannot forget how messy they are as you ate every bite. There are not many suppers you can whip up faster than Sloppy Joes.
Some attribute the original Sloppy Joe to a cafe in Sioux City, Iowa, where, many years ago, in 1930 a cook named Joe added tomato sauce to his “loose meat” sandwiches
