Here is one of my favorite comfort foods. It is so easy and so good. You’ll never think about Manwhich again! What kid didn’t have a barbeque for lunch or a Sloppy Joe? It’s the favorite of millions of kids who grew up and still love it. I think of my Mom serving it up to me and my four brothers, and it was nothing to down three or four at a single meal. This is the best sloppy joe recipe ever to me!

Atmosphere
When I think of the atmosphere and this recipe, I think about having a ballgame on the tube, steamed hamburger buns (a must), and chips of any type on the plate. Throw in an icy A&W root beer, and that makes it perfect!
Don’t overlook that adding this to a hot dog makes a great Coney Dog!
