My mother used to feed us what she called "Sloppy Joes" but was not in any way a classic recipe. She used a pound of browned hamburger, a can of Campbell's Chicken Gumbo soup (no water added), and a tablespoon or two each of mustard and ketchup. It sounds weird but it is delish. I have since come across this combo in a couple of fifties cookbooks.

Oh Jen, I didn’t take it that way. Aside from that, the recipe, as written, isn’t copyrightable. Anyone can repost it or print it to their heart’s content.

As my kids get bigger it seems to be a more the merrier thing around here. They don’t bicker as much when other kids are over.

i didn't mean to imply that you stole the recipe or anything like that – only that it's really good. i think these are fairly standard ingredients for a sloppy joe so i'm sure there's no funny business going on

i'll work on sending my kid over, although i have a feeling you might just be trading one mess for another in that regard. i am quite liberal in loaning out my kid. he is always available, you don't even need a library card!

Could you send your kid over here to teach my 6yo a thing about eating neatly?

I really have no idea where I got this recipe, it was on an index card in my recipe box and it's been on the site since May of 07, but I reposted it here with new pictures. (My photography has improved a bit)

Ha! I make these all the time (similar recipe from rachael ray, it's almost verbatim actually and it's great, and i usually serve them with roasted broccoli, my favorite!). my 4-year-old son loves them almost as much as my husband and i do but doesn't like that they are sloppy so he calls them "very neat joes." and he wants me to help him eat them so they don't get all over the place. i have tried explaining that the sloppiness is part of the fun but that hasn't worked yet. so i've just silently thanked him for not making a huge tomatoey mess everywhere while eating a pretty nutritious dinner

Umm that's why I said it wouldn't work with teens.

OK, so what would another name for sloppy joes be? Meat mush on a bun?!
