    I loved sloppy joes as a kid. I’m sure it was terrible junk food, like basically everything else. Are sloppy joes even a thing anymore?

      It’s really not all that unhealthy, depending on how you make it. In typical American size portions, it is an excessive amount of red meat for one sitting. We have it on our inpatient menu at the hospital I work at. Though the portions are not typical, the recipe is pretty standard but with less added salt.

        I made it about a month ago, and it was a recipe that added in a bit of lentils to add in some more bulk/fiber/texture. It turned out pretty well. Wouldn’t be something I’d make a lot, but I’d certainly do it again

      They were a big thing back in elementary school. Man they were tasty.

      But what’s terrible about them, healthwise? It’s just ground beef in a tomato sauce.

        It’s probably the same as with any kind of food. You can prepare it with good ingredients and it’s fine, but when you buy that mass-produced shit, you now you are eating garbage.

        I just assume most mass-produced products which come in a can are unhealthy until otherwise proven.

          I mean the only thing in the can is the tomato sauce.

          You still have to provide your own ground beef, cook it up, and then add the sauce. But you can also make your own sloppy joe sauce with some tomato sauce from scratch. And you dont even need to use beef. Ground turkey or chicken, or even some lentils for a vegan version.

    Sloppy steaks at Truffoni’s. Big rare cut of meat with water dumped all over it, water splashing around the table, makes the night SO MUCH more fun. After the club go to Truffoni’s for sloppy steaks. They’d say; ‘no sloppy steaks’ but they can’t stop you from ordering a steak and a glass of water, before you knew it we were dumping that water on those steaks! The waiters were coming to try and snatch em up, we had to eat as fast as we could! OHHH I MISS THOSE NIGHTS, I WAS A PIECE OF SHIT THOUGH.

    What the fuck is that, mince meat in tomato sauce? On a burner bun?

    What abomination is this.

      It’s an American thing I guess. It’s actually really good. You can 1+ it by adding mozzarella.

      That is a Sloppy Joe. There is also a non-zero percent chance that the sauce used here is a brand of canned sloppy joe sauce called Manwich.

        Manwich is pretty nasty shit and you can make your own super basic sloppy joe with just a little ketchup, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Add it right in the pan after you’ve browned the meat. This way you can control the sweetness and the sauciness. If you wanna get fancy you can also add a little soy sauce, garlic and onion powder, and maybe some liquid smoke or smoked paprika for some extra depth.

      It’s basically meat sauce between burger buns. I haven’t had one in ages, but they would make frequent appearances in grade school cafeterias and other events involving large amounts of children needing to be fed with low effort. I remember quite liking them; it’s basic, but great comfort food, and easy to eat.

      Sloppy joes are great, just make sure to have a hearty, toasted bun so they don’t get too sloppy.

      Honestly it’s been a few years since I had one, know what I’m making next week.
