1940's Original Sloppy Joes image

This is the original sloppy joe recipe that I found on http://theculinarycellar.com/memorial-day-and-a-1940s-recipe/. What is listed below is my updated recipe that tweaks it a bit for my family's tastes. It's now perfect and sooooooooooooooo easy to make. Recipe can be doubled (or more) easily with no worries that the taste will get messed up.

The sloppy joes were a disaster. The beef was tough and the sauce was bland.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the sloppy joes didn't turn out very well.

The sloppy joes were good, but I think they would have been better with a different type of bread.

I would have liked the sloppy joes to be a little more saucy.

The sloppy joes were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a big fan of sloppy joes, but these were actually really good. The sauce was flavorful and the beef was tender.

I've made sloppy joes many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The sauce is so flavorful and the beef is so tender.
