sloppy joeOh, the iconic Sloppy Joe…WAIT, don’t click out of here yet. Please keep reading, because this is not your school lunch cafeteria recipe; nor your Manwich from a can. This is an honest-to-goodness best homemade sloppy joe sauce ever. As you well know, I have three hungry guys in this family, and this is a true man-pleasing sandwich. A good old-fashioned sandwich for football season (or any season)! This recipe makes a lot but I love leftovers. The flavors have a chance to mingle and taste even better the next day or freeze the leftovers for another meal to have later.
