Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe sandwiches are a great weekday meal. They are also good if you need to serve lots of people because you can just multiply the recipe.
You won’t want the canned stuff again after eating this.

Notes
Everyone likes a good sloppy joe. I ate them all the time as a kid. A few years ago I decided to make some and grabbed a can of manwich at the store. I made it according to the directions and it tasted awful. Basically like ketchup diluted with corn syrup and tons of sugar. I started looking up recipes to make it from scratch and tried several. After combining the best of many different recipes and making a few adjustments, I have settled on the recipe above. Not too sweet or saucy but with plenty of flavor.
Good post.
