Sloppy Joes – I was really surprised with this one. Simple ingredients and it tasted great. You won’t be sorry with this. The kids will love you.
Some attribute the original sandwich 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. Voila: a new between-the-bread offering, and the sandwich’s official name.
