Homemade Easy Super Sloppy Joe's
Sloppy Joe's is a classic loose meat sandwich, also known as a "Manwich". Ground beef, tomato sauce and a little tart vinegar gives this sandwich filling a tangy and sweet flavor. It's much better than that stuff you find in the can. This is truly one of my husband's favorite dinners! Best of all, it's ready in 30 minutes!
