Sloppy Joes
An American classic, extra sloppy for ya! But there are two key tweaks here on the typical Sloppy Joe. First of all, this recipe is dead-simple. And that makes good sense because if it takes you more than 10 minutes to make Sloppy Joes you're kinda missing the point. And second, I use about half the typical amount of ketchup. Nothing against ketchup, it's just not much of a meal.

Assemble as you see fit. I like a simple sloppy joe on a fluffy bun with a little spread of mayonnaise. Of course, that's not for everyone. Mix it up however you like. A little shredded cheese maybe, lettuce and tomatoes perhaps?
