Mrs Jruzer makes them occasionally. They're pretty good - the kids like them. She wouldn't make them for just the 2 of us though - boring.

Fun fact: Here in Wisconsin they call sloppy Joes "Barbecue". I was seriously confused the first time I ordered a "barbecue sandwich", expecting pulled pork, and instead receiving a sad sloppy Joe.

OMG...that's one of the most horrible things I've ever heard...that's just not right...

I agree. I think it's an older usage that is slowly going out of style.

Here's an article I found.

It seems a lot of us have fond memories of not only the frosty cold glass mugs of root beer at A&W Root Beer stands, but of the food as well. B. Chamberlain asked if anyone knows how to make the barbecue as served at the stand on Madison Street in Eau Claire, Wis., back in the 1960s. She called the sandwich “the best-tasting anywhere.”

Wonder of wonders, the recipe has been found! And it turns out, it’s not what we’d traditionally call barbecue, but is closer to a Sloppy Joe or “loose meat” sandwich.

they're okay. I mean, if that's what someone has a picnic I'll eat it, but I won't go out of my way to make it myself

Yes! Home made, but yes a definite favorite.

So basically avoid Manwich? And just make it from scratch?

Do not make it at all

Yes, and toast the bun under the broiler with or without butter to keep it from getting soggy. I have a crock pot sloppy joe recipe I've used for years, but now that my kids are long gone I don't make them anymore. No one needs that many sloppy joes.

Jruzer

@PersianKitty94, are you looking to do this for the event you were discussing in another thread?

Sloppy Joes are a staple in potlucks, at least around here. They are easy to prepare in quantity and can be kept hot in a slow cooker.

ETA: And yes, make them from scratch. Honestly it's not much more difficult than using the canned stuff.

I hate (seriously hate) ketchup, so a no for me....but ground beef, BBQ sauce, onions and pickles on a bun sounds good. Not sure what you would call that?

Thanks, now I am craving Sloppy Joe's!!!

WeepingAngel81

They're quick, easy to hide veggies in, and my kids don't argue, so yeah, I like them. I just bought some new stuff to try. Has anyone else ever tried it? It's Johnny's brand and comes in a little jug.

I hope this link works! I thought about this very confused little guy when I saw this question. And no, I really dislike them.

I make lentils (2c water to 1c lentils, for 40 min), then add 1 T Dijon, 1 T lite soy sauce, 2 T ketchup, 2 T brown sugar, I can tomato paste, 1 can mild green chiles (minced jalapeños would be better) and some cumin. So good, believe it or not. On a whole wheat bun with a slice of Monterey Jack, I'm telling you.... it's really good. Don't be skeered... embrace the lentil

TonyB0588

Yes I do.

michael1976_ca

yes of course

Momtafo

Only homemade ones. The canned stuff is disgusting

I havent had one in years but if i somebody gave me one i'd probably destroy it.

leadslinger17

Better than sloppy seconds...

(3 pages there is a good chance someone already went for the easy joke). But they happened to have this in the cafeteria at work today and I was thinking I hadn't had one in years. Worth it!

Calzone? Hell yeah

Nope. Hated them as a kid too. I hate mushy bread and anything messy or sticky. Hated watermelon as a kid because I didn't know how to eat it without it touching me.
