Who was Joe? And, Why Was He Sloppy?

I did not like them for a long time, still kind of 'meh' on them. But when I am into them, I could eat, like, three or four at a sitting.

I spent a summer during college in northern Illinois, and the family with whom I was living wanted to fix me a southern meal so I would not miss the south. So they told me they were making BBQ. They made me sloppy joe's. I did not eat another one for probably five years I was so enraged.

My wife never realized that whenever I made sloppy Joe's, I did so from scratch, or at least "doctored up" the canned stuff with seasonings and veggies. She cooked the last one we ate with sauce straight from the can and commented "why does this have zero flavor?"

I don’t get it.
It’s a crappy version of spaghetti sauce on a roll.

The roll isn’t even buttered with garlic and baked with cheese..
Yes, that’s how I make ‘em, except I LOAD up the sauce with extra meat.

Really though, the way to do it is to make taco meat, butter and bake the rolls so they are crispy, and melt cheese on top, then add the taco meat.

I do that with taco meat and Texas toast, then rebake for a bit with a handful of shredded mozzarella on top

In elementary school in South Carolina I loved sloppy joe day. I still love them to this day.

I'll make them. Sloppy. Spicy too. Brown the meat. Add an unhealthy helping of garlic, onion, black pepper, chipotle, crushed red pepper and/or chili powder, paprika, ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce and shredded pepper jack cheese.

Sloppy Joe's were the "Oh no, Mom's not cooking tonight" meal until I started making the filling from scratch. Now it is one of the requested meals for dinner at Mom's.
