garbage trash plate is redundant - here in Rochester we simply say garbage plate better take the trash out

So yummy! I didn't add brown sugar. Honey instead. Then raw chopped onions on top. I mixed the spices in a baggie to make sure it was mixed perfectly. Def try that, then u can make double for later and set aside. My husband said it tastes just like home! They sell it right down the street! We live in Rochester! Ok good luck

I haven't made this exact recipe, but I've made one with tomato paste before. This is homemade sloppy joes, not the meat hot sauce that you get at a Rochester X-Hots joint. There is no tomato in the real stuff. It's all meat, grease, and spice.

This meat hot as we call it in Rochester is pretty good but the best is at sticky lips or marks Texas hots. Also in Rochester we are so familiar with garbage plates we simply say "let's go get a plate" or I'm having a plate for dinner"
