Personal Notes:
I always loved this as a kid and the St. Pete Times or maybe it was the Evening Independent had a section where people wrote in asking for recipes for food they had somewhere so my Grandma wrote in for the school cafeteria sloppy joe recipe and this was what was what they published. I still have the card she taped it to.

Not the most healthy dish but tastes so good and brings back memories,
