My first (scratch) Sloppy Joe’s were made over 25 years ago for my son’s first birthday party. It is an easy recipe for large groups and multiplying servings. Not a beef eater? Substitute ground turkey. Or get adventurous and use half bulk sausage and half beef. It’s a meal kids and adults will enjoy! Serve with a side salad or coleslaw.
