    I grew up with Sloppy Joes in the 60's but it's hard to find that same exact taste today. Thank you for the lens. I'll have to try the recipe.

    Amazing! I had sloppy joes for dinner today! I had to see if your recipe has my favorite and sure enough, you added corn, just as I do.

    It may surprise you to know, Brenda, that up until about a fortnight ago, I had never heard of Sloppy Joes. I heard them mentioned on a TV programme, deemed to find out what they are and promptly forgot about them again until a couple of days ago. I am actually typing this as my own take on Sloppy Joe mix is cooking and I wish I had found this lens an hour earlier. Fabulous production and I will most definitely take your suggestions in to account whenever I next have a go at Sloppy Joes.

    I used to fix Sloppy Joes for my kids a lot and they loved them. In a pinch, you can just make them by adding ketchup and a little mustard to scrambled hamburger. I like the idea of using spagetti sauce...think I'll try it. :)
  • bames24 May 9, 2011 @ 11:41 pm | delete
    I definitely will try it out... I am a vegetarian so I guess I will modify the recipe somewhat but I am sure it will be great :)

    Ohh, I really like sloppy joe's...all the flavor of bar-b-qued red meat without all the chewing. With a really fresh salad and a decent sized sesame bun...hey, to me, it's gourmet food.

  • Gloriousconfusion Dec 30, 2009 @ 7:15 am | delete
    I've never heard of sloppy Joes before, but that's because I'm English! I don't fancy it with rolls or buns, but it sounds good to eat with lots of other things like baked potato, pasta, wraps or tortilla shells.

    Interesting lens - I am still at the learning-and-copying-other-people stage.
  • Pukeko Dec 30, 2009 @ 3:16 am | delete
    I loved sloppy joe as a kid. One of those recipes I totally forgot about over the years. We will have to see if the girls like it now. Blessed by an angel.

    Hi Brenda,

    Question so what is the main difference between a sloppy joe and a maid rite? I have seen them in small town mom and pops restaurants on the menu and they seem to me as the same thing.

    Thanks
