Sloppy joes that is…
SuMMer, BarBecues, bEaCh, SanD, LaZy days, FAMILY.
All images that come to my mind when craving sloppy joes. Growing up I never knew this messy goodness could be so good. Born and raised in the US by newly immigrated Filipinos, I only knew the makings of sloppy joes via a can of Manwhich™ and a pound of ground beef! And truthfully, I still like that rendition… I would actually eat it with steamed white rice, because as everyone knows… everything is good with rice… 😉 But ohhhh!! the joy of a homemade, simmering hot batch of meaty heartiness that generations have made and perfected over the years… Now that’s tasty!
After summer vacations of careful observation and repeated requests for the recipe, I finally have it committed to memory. To some it probably isn’t as good as when grandma makes it, but it IS pretty darn good… Enough so, that my husband and kids gobble it all down!
Looks nearly gourmet!! Love ’em and they were a staple at our meat and potatoes house growing up. My mom laughs at Manwhich but my kids prefer it – sigh. Your pics. are awesome!!!
Thanks Patty! There’s nothing more comforting than a sloppy joe sandwich!
Corrina, The Sloppy Joes look awesome. I have always used bbq sauce, But it seems you use tomato sauce green peppers, onion , Red peppers and chili powder. I am sure going to try this one. Thanks
Thank you! Yes, no ketchup or bbq sauce. Just a really simply list of ingredients. I don’t measure, just taste!
Great blog… I love your recipe through pictures style 🙂
