My version of a Sloppy Joe
- Thread starter joec
- Start date
It's fantastic. Just like what mom would buy at the health food store in the 60's and 70's. The oil floats to the top and you stir it in. You have to keep it in the fridge because for no preservitives and it never separates agin. I had forgotten how GOOD and "peanutty" natural peanut butter tasted!! Peter Pan is good but it and all the others are loaded with sugar and they replace the peanut oil with other oils.
BTW I also have an asian peanut sauce/noodle dish I make and can't wait to try it with TJ PB!!

The stuff I get at Whole Foods is also like that with no additives. I've just never bought anything from Trader Joe's before since they aren't around me. I'm not much on the processed peanut butters as a rule and have made my own in the past though not for a few years now due mostly to the WF one I found.
I use the dry packet to make sloppy joe's
when i get my magic bullet or go find a coffee grinder, i will send you a mixture of my packet chili mixture which can double as a sloppy joe mixture with less heat added if you wish.
i am not fond of cinnamon and i believe there is a small amount added to manwich....no matter how lean ground beef or how well you drain, there always seems to be a greasy texture to it.
I have no fear of heat Bams and would love to give it a try. I use a Bruan Coffee grinder to do my spice blends up. I have a couple of them one just for hot peppers only that I use after I dehydrate them.
i know ur not afraid of heat..lol
If you make extra I'd love a packet too Bams.
about to call the person with the magic bullet right now..
Thats a wonderful offer Bams Thank you!
I'll be making Joe's original posted recipe for the sloppy joes on... ummm..Monday?
I've got my meal plans figured for the next 4 days and I really want to make this recipe.
It should freeze well, I should think.

Now why on earth would you do that?
All it takes is some ground beef cooked in a skillet.
Then add some mustard, ketchup, cumin, garlic, worcestershire sauce, pepper,chopped green pepper, onion... and if you like it sweet, a pinch or two of brown sugar.
It's got to be a little soupy, and you should allow it to sit and simmer for a while.
I have never made sloppy joes using anything from a packet or a jar.
It's one of those things you go to when you can't think of anything else to make for your family, fast! LOL
Contradictory lore suggests that the Original Sloppy Joe Sandwich was invented at Sloppy Joe's Bar in Key West, Florida or by a cook named Joe at a cafe in Sioux City, Iowa as a variation of the popular "loose meat" sandwich (which does not contain tomato sauce).

I don't know about it freezing well, Sass. It tends to go fast around this place especially if the grand kids are here.
I usually triple the amounts when making it.

I prefer a more barbeque flavor to mine, brown sugar, catsup, mustard, some pickle juice, onion. We called them "slushburgers."

Sounds great with the Cajun Fries - I've got the ingredients and will be making it tonight as a New Year Day treat - can't wait!
Glad you enjoyed them too Doc.
They are the bomb!
Thanks again Joe.
