What is a Sloppy Joe?
You may be wondering what is a sloppy joe or why it is called that. Well it is an American dish which originates from early 20th century. Sloppy Joes is actually a sandwich which consists of either beef or pork mince, tomato sauce, onions, Worcestershire sauce and some herbs and spices. The name sloppy joes comes from the original cook who made it, Sloppy Joe.
Sloppy Joes is seem to be a cheap dish, as it is minced beef or pork in a tomato sauce served on a hamburger or other type of roll / bun / bap / sub.
