Oh, yes! I LOVED sloppy joes. All I see these days is the canned glop that wasn’t ANYWHERE as good. Have a recipe for it???
The college cafeteria was scrambled eggs with peas for dinner.
Grammar school was better.
I don’t, or I’d be happy to share. I believe this stuff had brown gravy mix as an ingredient. It wasn’t like anything else.
Basic Sloppy Joe school recipe was
Gr Beef
Onions
catsup
Chili powder
Worchestershire sauce
Brown sugar
Some times a squirt of mustard
My recipe for sloppy joe
1 1/2-2# gr chuck
1/2 diced onion (I grate mine)
1 tablespoon br sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Chili powder, salt, pepper to taste
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 cup tomato purée
Catsup
This tends to be pretty sloppy and I thicken with oatmeal that has been put in blender/food processor and ground into a flour consistency. A couple of tablespoonfuls is all it takes, then simmer until thick.
This is definitely a taste as you make recipe.
I’m not sure about that, but if you want to have a tasty time, try this: cook up some loose ground beef and stir in some of your favorite salsa and simmer it down.
Squish the results into patties, put it on a bun and top with a slice of sharp cheddar.
I like to call it a ‘sloppy Tex’...
