Sloppy Joe is another name for a loose-meat sandwich made popular at lunch counters in the 1930s. In the 1970s and 80s, these were staple dinnertime favorites for kids all over America. Our version brings back all the happy memories of rich tomato sauce with ground meat in a hamburger bun, but we have amped with veggies with added corn, bell peppers and celery. If you like a bit of heat, add jalapeno into your saute of onion, celery and bell peppers. Serve these sloppy joes with a side salad to complete the plate or some sliced apples and grapes for a fruity twist.
