This is a popular sandwich in America. It's hearty and loved by both adults and kids. I often made it for my daughter's Girl Scout camp.The origin of this recipeIn America, there are canned sauces for Sloppy Joes, but the taste is not great. I tried making it with inexpensive tomato soup.

This was a recipe that I copied out of my mother in laws old cook book, and the recipe was from the 50's.

This is a simply amazing sloppy joe recipe! I’ve tried all the normal mixes and canned sloppy joe stuff out there, and when I made this the very first time I knew there was no going back!

I learned this recipe in my 8th grade home ec. class. Super easy for a beginner chef!

I had Sloppy Joes once when I was a kid, it was at my friend's house, and I wasn't into them. I remember it being really sweet, and gross. So, when I got the America's Test Kitchen cookbook a few years ago, I didn't even look at the recipe, but then I was curious as to what was actually in it. Upon reading the recipe, It seemed super simple and tasty....so I'm not sure what the problem was when I was a kid. Anyway, I tried the recipe with my family, and it's quick, super easy and delicious. It goes really well on the Soft Pretzel Buns. To keep the cooking to a minimum, serve it with a fresh garden salad.
