Sloppy Joes

Did you grow up eating Sloppy Joes?  I remember loving this sandwich as a child, but I can’t remember the last time I made them (if ever).  I ran across my aunt’s recipe and decided that this would make a perfect Sunday night supper for us. 
Sloppy Joe1

Judy’s Sloppy Joes

1 lb hamburger
4 T diced onion
1 T green pepper
3/4 c. water
1 c catsup
2 T dry mustard
1 T lemon juice
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp vinegar
2 T brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

Brown hamburger, onion, and green pepper.  Drain, if necessary.  Add water, catsup, and other seasonings.  Cook until thick.  Serve on toasted buns.

I wrote this recipe down as a teen thinking that I’d want to make it when I was grown.  I like it as much now as I did then.  Yum!

    I do like a good sloppy Joe - - - I liked the silly "slop, slop, sloppy Joe" song too!

    I had FORGOTTEN this - - - in these here parts they call sloppy joes barbeque. Having lived in the SOUTH where I learned what REAL barbeque is, I now have to giggle every time someone says something about barbeques up here and I REALIZE they MEAN sloppy joes!

    Have a great day, Paula!

    I made sloppy joes last night with a can of manwich that was in my pantry from a while ago...yuck! I'll never bother making it from a can again! I've tried several different recipes; maybe I'll give yours a try next.

    I don't think I've ever made Sloppy Joes, but I know my mom did. I'll have to give this one a try...I'm in a real dinner rut lately.

    Yup, I grew up on sloppy joe's and make them from time to time. I'll give this recipe a try next time. Also used to get something called a "neat joe" at the antique fair food booth that we have in the summer. It was served in a tube like bread thing and was a lot more neat to eat.
