(Pleae disregard the Sponge Bob Square Pants plate :-))
Sloppy Joes has to be my least favorite meal. I loved them
when I was a kid and requested them every chance I got. Then suddenly the idea
of eating on was just the worst thing you could ask of me. I never really got
over that.
My family on the other hand just loves them. I decided to think
outside of the can and make them from scratch. To be honest with you they
turned out really good. My family raved about them, and said they were far
superior to anything out of a can. This will be on our keeper list. Thank you
Jude for this great recipe.
