Personal Notes:
I love Grandma's sloppy joes, and they were a big hit with the OHIO cheerleaders when we stopped by on our way to a football game at Kent. She was frequently called upon to make this for parties, and would bring small buns (they call them "slider" buns these days) because they were less sloppy to eat. If she was making them for a party, she would cook them in the electric roaster. For the record, I've never needed to thicken them with cornstarch.
