Research at the Carnegie Library suggests that the Sloppy Joe began in a Sioux City, Iowa, cafe as a "loose meat sandwich" in 1930, the creation of a cook named Joe."
The term "sloppy" comes from the fact that eating it as if it were a normal sandwich often results in the meat and sauce spilling out. It may also be served "open face", with the bun halves or slices of bread next to each other and the meat on top of each. A sloppy joe served with no bun at all is known as a saucy beefeater.
Sloppy joes are also referred to as wimpies in parts of the Northeast USA, especially northeastern Pennsylvania, as "yip yips" in parts of southwestern Illinois near St. Louis, and as slushburgers in parts of the Upper Midwest, including the Dakotas and Eastern Montana.Where did Sloppy Joe or Joes originate from:
I thoroughly enjoyed a tall glass of Zephyrhills Sparkling water with the Sloppy Joes...also all American, from Zephyrhills Florida. A slice of lime, and more lime juice...added ice cubes; wow! totally refreshing.
Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) from Food Network
Note: I made this with 1 lb. of lean ground beef, and did not use butter...only extra virgin olive oil. Also used less of the spices, of course...just broke it down to half the amount.
My son use to love sloppy Joes made with Manwich sauce with baked beans when he was little:)
Have a wonderful week ahead, everyone...and thank you for all your kind comments! xo
Looks like you had a fun 4th of July. I remember the days when a sloppy joe was a favourite dish and staple in our household. I haven't had one now in ages. Have a good rest of your weekend. Hugs. xx
ReplyDeleteElisabeth, that Sloppy Joe sandwich sure looks yummy! I won't mind getting all sloppy and messed up eating it :)
ReplyDeleteNagyon guszta ez a Sloopy Joe szendvics, köszi, hogy leírtad a történetét, ezzel is töbet tudok.
ReplyDeleteNagyon szép az az angol porcelán tányérod, én is vágyom hasonlóra, tudod a kék a kedvenc színem:)
Aranyos vagy a fotón, meg a kutyusok is:)
I love Sloppy Joes…and my kids loved Manwich when they were young. Looks like you had a lovely Fourth of July. How nice that you could walk to the fireworks show….I would have loved that! We had no fireworks close by, but my neighbors were shooting stuff off…scary! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteI loved your post Elisabeth. Watching the fireworks from the bridge must have been ever so nice. Happy belated 4th! You must be tickled pink your family is on the way back home even though present 4 legged company is ever so charming. Thanks for being a good friend. When the chips are down one tends to find out where one's friends are.
ReplyDeleteYou had a wonderful day Elisabeth, that´s always welcome. I´ve yet to make sloppy joes, but the idea of a dripping sandwich is always a good one. I like this recipe a lot!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a perfect meal to have on the 4th of July. I have never had sloppy joe, but I have always found it both luscious looking and also tempting because of the funny name. It does look like a sloppy distant cousin of a hamburger ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the celebration photos!
No one can make an ordinary Sloppy Joe look the way you make it look...love the history, love the recipe...Den has to have it now!
ReplyDeleteI always forget about sloppy joes, you're making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteHi my dear Elisabeth, thanks for sharing the firework pictures and the night scene is beautiful. You got a very lovely smile. Stay young at heart always.
ReplyDeleteYour sloppy joes look scrumptious, I like the mountain high filling. :)) Off course would love to have a glass of the refreshing Zephyrhills Sparkling water, it's very hot and humid over here.
Your pets look cute.
Have a wonderful week ahead,with lots of love and hugs to you.
