Why I Love This Recipe
The sloppy joe, or a version of it, has been around the U.S. for quite a while. How did this sandwich get started? As ground beef gained popularity in the 19th century, it became renowned as a nourishing and economical food option: it delivered lots of protein for your money. Fillers (like bread crumbs, ketchup, tomato paste, cheese, etc.) were often added to stretch it. Sloppy joes are popular for dinner and for school cafeteria lunches. It's a great option for feeding a crowd. (source: http://blog.blueapron.com/)
