Piece of Trivia: The original Sloppy Joe sandwich was made by a cook named Joe at a cafe in Sioux City, Iowa.
Sloppy joes are one of the ground beef recipes I make when we want something more flavorful than a burger. Yours does look tasty. Great choice for a meal for just you and the kids after a busy day. Interesting bit of trivia here too! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI used to love these as a child, but I've never made them for my family... I might need to spring this on them :) I have a feeling hubby would enjoy them~
ReplyDeleteI think the toasted rolls are KEY. I made some awesome pulled pork last night and I think it was ruined by untoasted rolls..... didn't realize that until I saw this. Everyone but my husband {who apparently likes mushy rolls} was grossed out by the soggy bottom bun.... thanks for this, I have leftovers! Sounds like a Take 2 situation :)
