Description
Nothing reminds us more of our childhood than sloppy joes. We vividly remember coming home after school and having sloppy joes for dinner. Sloppy Joes are the best of both worlds. As kids, we loved sloppy joes because they were delicious but messy. On the other hand, our parents loved that they were quick, easy to make, and affordable. However, like most, our moms used the classic “Manwich” brand to make sloppy joes. Now that we’re adults, we’ve created a homemade sloppy joe recipe that’s just as simple and quick. Our sloppy joes are tangy, sweet, and savory and pair perfectly with chips, tots, or fries. We guarantee it’ll be a family favorite.
