My girls always liked Sloppy Joes and yes they had a Manwich or two growing up too. They called them Sloppy Josephs'.
Did you know they used to call it a "Loose Meat Sandwich"? They did and it's most basic, the Joe is a sandwich made with ground beef and tomato sauce. Some say the original Sloppy Joe was made in an Iowa cafe by an man named Joe in the 1930s.

Wherever it got it's name and start a good ole Sloppy Joe can be quite tasty at times. I chose to add peppers and diced tomatoes with green chilies for a little kick. If you want more of a kick add more chilies, chili powder and hot sauce.

Add 1 Tbs. good honey like Fratelli Carli MIELE DI ACACIA
The honey just gives it a great taste and I like it better than adding sugar.
