Sloppy Joe's

Story: I remember these as a kid. My brother and I would devour these. I know my mom makes these for my dad using the brand Manwich back in Ohio. Because my husband is so picky I chose to make these last night after we spent a couple hours working on building our shed. I figured an ice cold beer followed by a beefy sandwich he wouldn’t resist. I found this recipe on the back of French’s mustard bottle and modified it. Where it called for onion I substituted for fresh garlic. Just as I expected, he loved it. Good thing there's leftovers!
