The Absolute Best Southern Sloppy Joe's
Smoky, spicy Sloppy Joe made from scratch. The jalapenos give it the perfect heat (not spicy) and the ketchup and brown sugar give it the perfect sweetness. Add this sloppy joe mix to a toasted hamburger bun and a layer of cheese on the bottom. Plain and simple it's delicious and the bacon brings it over the top! I fried my bacon during the first 25 minutes. Then ground in a coffee grinder but you can add it with your onion and bell pepper if you wish and just process it with it.
Why do they call it a Sloppy Joe?
They probably got their start as a variation of the “loose meat" sandwiches that were popular at that time. ... According to legend, a cook named Joe at Floyd Angell's café in Sioux City, Iowa, added tomato sauce to his “loose meat" sandwiches and the “sloppy joe" sandwich came to life.
