Sloppy Joannas

Submitted by Acerast

"This recipe came from one of those supermarket checkout lane cook-booklets when we were first married 20 years ago (DH has survived a lot of cooking experiments). It has been the standard for Sloppy Joes at our house and recently was renamed when DD (age 10) learned to cook it herself. We always double this one for our hungry family."

I have been using this sloppy joe recipe for 20+ years too. It's in a Pillsbury Cookbook. It's the only sloppy joe recipe I will use.

Fab! Tastes like what one thinks of when they imagine sloppy joe. A timeless classic for an easy and simple sandwich. Thank you.

Loved these "Joannas"! Made 2 sml chgs that I feel still kept me faithful to the recipe. I added a bit of green bell pepper I needed to use & used 1/4 cup Heinz Chili Sauce for 1/4 cup of the catsup to add a zingy flavor we esp like. *Yum* ! Thx for sharing this tasty recipe w/us. :-)

This recipe is delicious! I used ground deer. Did not use celery because of the kids. Used celery seed. Doubled the recipe and added a little chili powder. This is a keeper. Served on hoagie rolls from here on Zaar.
