Sloppy Joe’s are simply a classic. Homemade Sloppy Joe’s are even better! Manwich is not allowed in my house (my husbands rule)! However, I’ve grown to love making my own sauce because I can control how spicy it is, how much tomato, onion, garlic, etc is in my sauce. This is one of my all time favorite (and nostalgic) meals. It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s cheap, and it’s tasty.
