Sloppy Joe Sandwich

Submitted by Beth A.

"This recipe has been a work in progress. This is what I came up with and my family loves it. I guess that is what's most important! Hope you enjoy it too. I never did come up with an exact measurement for the water. Just add a little at a time until you get the consistancy you like. We like ours relatively thick. (Like a "Not-so-sloppy joe")"

Delicious! I made this one night, froze it for a night and then put it in a slow cooker for a potluck the next day. I added about 1 cup water to get it to be a slightly sloppy texture. I received many compliments.
