Pretty much the same here. Like pizza, no exact recipe, no added
chemicals. When all done we like to add cheddar cheese to finish it off.

I think most of us (here on RFC) except for Gary do make our own sauce.
Hey, if he likes the canned Manwich, no biggie. But I'm betting mine
tastes just as good without all the fructose and other added stuff.

I don't add cheese to sloppy joes. Never heard of that. I have kettle
cooked potato chips on the side.

It was thread drift that led me to it. I had ground beef, I had
onions and garlic and canned tomato sauce. Cheap white hamburger buns
in the freezer. Hey, sloppy joes! It was cold outside and they were
nice and warm inside. With potato chips.

My husband likes cheese on sloppy joes. He likes cheese on
pretty much anything.

We were at the bar having burgers the other day, and each of
us was struggling to eat half a pound of meat. I said if we
could agree on toppings, we could split one. Maybe I could
ignore the American cheese without which he feels no burger
is complete.

I love Sloppy Joes, and your recipe sounds good. I dont like mine sweet,

This is similar to mine as well. Sometimes I sneak in a bit of small diced
vegetables, both to stretch it and for the benefit of DD.

I don't do canned mix for sloppy joes and can't even remember the last time
I made them, so don't have a recipe handy or in my head.

I like cheese but have never had it on a sloppy joe. As for burgers,
I've had good old American and other types of sliced cheese. I prefer
Swiss cheese. Same with griddled ham and cheese sandwiches. Swiss
cheese, please. Unless I have pepper-jack.

My SO asked whether or not I put mustard on the bun. What?! Definitely
no mustard. Mustard does not fit the profile of a traditional Sloppy
Joe sandwich. LOL

The original recipe came from a Betty Crocker cookbook circa 1950's. It
called for a cup of ketchup and half a cup of water. I used tomato sauce
and a little water. It also told me to add the Worcestershire sauce and
a dash of hot sauce. No added sugar. No salt, either. Gary may love
canned Manwich and that's fine. I do think it's the sweetness of the
Manwich sauce that puts me off. Not something I want in Sloppy Joes.

I put it on a bun but it is eaten and as an open-faced sandwich.

I seem to recall putting a drop of mustard into the sloppy joe
mixture itself. We also use a little ketchup for that authentic,
nostalgic experience.

Well, that's a good thing. The panko was a Safeway brand of not a very good quality because the particle size was quite inconsistent. That funky panko however, gave the ahi a very attractive look!

What's getting popular here is ahi katsu - ahi rolled in nori, coated and fried. It's tasty!

It is. My plan is to make thinner rolls so that it can be eaten as finger food. No slicing, just biting.

Maybe it's an up north thing? He grew up in Rochester, NY. It would
never occur to me to add even a drop of mustard onto a sloppy joe
sandwich. Then again, I don't like yellow mustard on burgers, either. LOL

BTW, the recipe I used came from an old Betty Crocker cookbook. It
called for ketchup and water to make the sauce. I don't have any
ketchup which is why I used tomato sauce slightly diluted with a little
water. I also added Worcestershire and hot sauce based on that old
Betty Crocker recipe. I'm pretty sure my mother used condensed tomato
soup and water for hers. And didn't add anything else to it. No onion,
no garlic. What can I say? Hers was very bland.

Mine tasted great! I'll be making it again soon, I'm sure.

I've been making a lot fo sloppy joes the last couple years. I make
my own sauce with 2 parts ketchup one part CYM (cheap yellow
mustard), worcestershire, a little BBQ sauce, granulated garlic,
along with the drained ground beef sauteed with onion and green
pepper. I usually thicken the sauce with a little cornstarch. And
then pile the slop onto hot dogs buns with pickle slices so they're
not as "sloppy" and don't squish out the sides of hamburger buns on
the first bite.

Or another idea is to make slider - also less messy. The best

I stopped using Manwich years ago when I realized that homemade will
kick your Manwich ass all the way to Alaska.

BTWE: it's made by ConAgra. And it hasn't "made the company a
fortune" nearly as much as 250 other products have.

Oh, and brown sugar I've tried to make less sweet sloppy Joes, but
it just doesn't work. Sweet is better. And I'm not usually a
proponent of sweet meets.

Tomato sauce and some sweetener. Most likely high fructose corn syrup. It's
sickly sweet stuff. I think there are various flavors depending on what the
seasonings are.

That's exactly why I don't like it. Too sweet!

Definitely too sweet. That's probably why Gary likes it, though.

Your mix sounds good, Steve. I especially like the idea of using
a hot dog bun rather than the hamburger buns. Only one side to
worry about it falling out. Also the garnish of raw onions on top
is excellent. I cook onions with the ground beef but the raw on
top would add nice crunch and a nice 'bite' to it.

That said, I only make sloppy joes about once every 3 years. Most
times, I'll opt for bbq sandwiches with plenty of coleslaw on
top. And the vinegar based sauce. Put it on the meat and it
looks like no sauce is there but it is. I think I'll also do bbq
next time using the hotdog rolls.

Stop with the "why Gary likes it" nonsense. You/ve said that
about 4-5 times now yet you have no idea why I like it and you've
never even bought a can so you are talking with speculation which
is rarely correct. Even Squertz said a sloppy joe needs a bit of
sweetness. I agree but it also needs a bit more seasoning.

What you made is a bland spaghetti sauce and I wouldn't want that
on a bun. It would be ok mixed with rice and stuff green peppers
with it maybe. That's what Betty Crocker said anyway. heheh

Asians love sweet foods. Maybe yoose guys are turning Asian. My guess is that a package of Filipino spaghetti sauce would make a pretty good sloppy Joe. Just add more salt.

Your husband and the younger generation are more open to the idea of sweeter foods. I certainly do cook that way. OTOH, I'm afraid of Filipino spaghetti. Hee hee.

You're right, I don't know why you like it. Did I say I've never bought
a can of Manwich? I did, decades ago. As I said, it was too sweet.
Good thing I'm not cooking it for you or Steve.

LOL I use an old Betty Crocker recipe. I used tomato sauce & water
rather than *ketchup* and water, simply because I didn't have any
ketchup. If I'd intended it to be pasta sauce I wouldn't have added
Worcestershire and hot sauce. You go right ahead and enjoy Manwich.
Mine tasted just fine.
