I went grocery shopping today and nothing was striking my fancy until a packet of Sloppy Joe mix crossed my eye and my inner child yelled at me. I probably haven't even thought of making Uncouth Josephs in twenty years. They were as awesome as I remember, and it got me thinking and wondering, when was the last time YOU made Sloppy Joes and why aren't you making some right now? You know you want to, now that its been brought up. Also, I'm sorry if the majesty of the Sloppy Joe has never made it back to the old countries. You people will never know true joy. Go make some Sloppy Joes, you won't regert it.

I hated sloppy joes simply due to the sloppy factor. I didn't want anything falling out the bun. How I wish my mom would roll em up in a flour tortilla like a burrito instead, preventing a mess from happening. But my mom was also your traditional american white boomer. I don't think she ever bought tortillas from the grocery store. Hell, I don't even remember black pepper existing in the house

I'd grab a spoon and get to work.

We used to make "Mexican heros" as a kid lol.. Sloppy joes plus a can of green chilies put on a toasted bun, then topped with mild shredded cheddar cheese and broiled until it melts. Usually it would have a couple pieces of bacon on top as well. I haven't had one in probably 25 years

Not a bad dinner if you have kids and are exhausted. I made some probably a month ago.

Do any restaurants sell a sloppy joe menu item? I like them but have never seen them in the wild now that im thinking about it. I figured if anyone had one it would be Chili's.

I made some for my 4 year old niece not long ago, she actually ate it (and made a mess of course) so I count it as a win. Snuck some blitzed veggies into the mix and made it from scratch, there really is not much to it. Way better than the jar stuff from what I remember from being a kid. I used the leftovers with the leftover frozen tater tots as some weird white trash tot nachos abomination, was also tasty.

Jose Oquendo posted:if someone has a recipe for home made sloppy joes (ie not from a packet or can) post it please. sure but I'm gonna half rear end it because gently caress writing a real recipe: brown some ground beef (or turkey I kind of prefer turkey tbh) in a pan, add chopped up onion and bell pepper, stir for a bit, add tomato paste, worcestershire, dijon, brown sugar, chili powder, red pepper flakes, tabasco and some beef broth or water, stir all that crap in, bring it to a boil then reduce to a simmer for like 20 minutes or it looks good

My dad would eat anything, and I mean anything but one thing: sloppy joes. He once described it to me as a kid like eating wet snot, and that description has stuck with me for decades. I never fancied them because of that.

No... Not really. Sloppy Joe is ground up beef smothered in a tomato based sauce. A loose meat sandwich is an abomination. They are much messier than a sloppy Joe which is pretty impressive though.
