Real Sloppy Joes
"I know I personally, can't stand canned sloppy joes or mixes like Manwich. Most of the things I know how to make are from zaar, watching my mother and going from memory, or like this one from my cooking teacher in high school.
Definitely not a "sweet" sloppy joe. I never liked sloppy joes until I tried this recipe
Sometimes I substitute celery seed and onion flakes for the real deal, depends what you have on hand and if you like chunks of veggies in your sloppy joes. Feel free to add some extra chili powder, this is the basic recipe as I was taught, depending on mood I'll keep it the same or add more"

This was really quick and easy ! Served on Onion Buns with a side of slaw and dill pickles. -
DH gave the recipe 4 stars but me and my son loved it so that's a 5 stars :) DH said there was too much ketchup. Maybe but with the mustard I added on mine, it was perfect and yummy. Thanks Michelle :) Made for PRMR tag game -
My favorite. I usually love sweet SLOPPY JOES, but this was delicious. Not too sweet. Perfect! -
These were very good - I really think the vinegar added that extra zing I love in Sloppy Joes. Served these on toasted buns and ate them while we watched the football conference playoffs. Thanks Michelle, great recipe. Made for PRMR, Jan 2009. -

This is just how we like sloppy joes, much better than any jar stuff :-) Only change was to use passata instead of ketchup because we had some to use up & I added some garlic because that's a requirement in our house. Thanks for sharing - a definite keeper.

I'm heaven sent, don't you dare forget
I am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other [boys] all promised
Sorry I told, I just needed you to know
I think in decimals and dollars
I am the cause to all your problems
Shelter from cold, We are never alone
Coordinate brain and mouth
Then ask me what it's like to have myself so figured out - I wish I knew
I hope this songs starts a craze,
the kind of song that ignites the airways
The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are
with who ever they're there with
This is war - Every line is about who I don't write about anymore
Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose,
don't have the cure for
Holding on to your grudge
Oh it's so hard to have someone to love
Keeping quiet is hard
'Cause you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start
At least pretend you didn't wanna get caught
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us
Oh we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial
We are entirely smooth
We fit to the truth
We are the best at what we do
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
This is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart
Oh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart
And it's all from watching TV
and from speeding up my breathing
Wouldn't stop if I could
Oh it hurts to be this good
You're holding on to your grudge
Oh it hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love
Oh so let it go
This is the craze only we can bestow
This is the price you pay for loss of control
This is the break in the ground
This is the closest of calls
This is the reason you're alone, this is the reason you fall!
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us

I love to cook and to bake and to watch people enjoy the food that I make, and most of all I enjoy this 'practice' period I have - to prepare me for when I have a family of my own :)
