This was my Grandmother's recipe. She always served this on Christmas Eve when I was a little girl growing up in Illinois. This has always been one of my mother’s favorite recipes. Her and my Father really enjoy the taste of this dish. And I have enjoyed it more now that I am an adult than I ever did as a child. Mom has continued the tradition of serving this in our home on Christmas Eve and we enjoy this dish several times through the year as well. It is an excellent recipe for Sloppy Joe’s, much better than anything you can buy in a can like Manwich. It would be a great dish to take to a family get together or picnic. The possibilities are endless. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.
