Sloppy Joe recipe
(Redirected from Barbecues)
A Sloppy Joe is an American dish of ground beef, onions, sweetened tomato sauce or ketchup and other seasonings, served on a hamburger bun. Contradictory lore suggests that the Original Sloppy Joe Sandwich was invented at Sloppy Joe's Bar in Key West, Florida, or by a cook named Joe at a cafe in Sioux City, Iowa, as a variation of the popular "loose meat" sandwich (which does not contain tomato sauce).
There are numerous variations of this recipe, this is my favourite. I add lots more chilli so it becomes chilli con carne in a roll.
