It’s been a very long time

What was I doing?
Well, I was in California visiting family and friends for much of the month of July. And then there was this little matter to be taken care of. But as of September 1, it’s off my desk. (At least until edits come back; then bread and I will once again become very close.)
However, during my hiatus I did cook… and eat.
Call it regression, call it nostalgia, but I made sloppy joes this summer. And the recipe was good enough that I had to share. I hadn’t eaten a sloppy joe in years. Probably 20 or so. My grandma used to make them for lunch occasionally. (Yes, they were from a can– or at least the sauce was.) Needless to say, they were not a stellar representation. Sometimes we would get them at camp– the perfect entree for feeding hundreds of sweaty kids– slop in a bowl! So let’s just say, my memories of sloppy joe filling were not the greatest. But I had a feeling that there could be more to this sandwich than ground beef and sweet, red sauce

I looked around the web a bit, and found that many recipes were just browned ground beef, and a bottle of barbeque sauce. That wasn’t what I remembered, or what I wanted. Some recipes were simply ketchup with a lot of brown sugar– too sweet. So I toyed with my own recipe.
This filling is slightly sweet, a tad acidic, with just a hint of spice. And yes, it’s sloppy– but not excessively so. Served with an old-fashioned, spongy potato roll, these sloppy joes should have been the sandwich of my youth. Instead, they can be the sandwich of my 30s
