My wife has been feeling crappy all week and she asked for sloppy joes for dinner tomorrow. Does anyone have a killer sloppy joe recipe to share? I'm going grocery shopping later today.
I don't know about killer, but it seems that everyone in Minnesota has this one (or some variation), so it must be good! :
1 medium onion, diced small
fweck mod - couple cloves garlic, through garlic press or fine chop
1# hamberger browned with the onion and garlic, fat drained off
1 can Campbell's chicken gumbo soup
ketchup and yellow mustard, 3 tbs each or so (to taste)
fweck mod - 1 tbs horseradish
1 tbs pickle relish
simmer until thick
Wife mod - miracle whip on the buns
Mighty tasty, have once every couple of weeks
The chiken gumbo is more of a binder, trust me it's good!
Any other midwesterners want to chime in?
Interesting technique... meat pudding.. Since you have a blue thermopen I will have to try it since we know no one with a BLUE thermopen would lead you astray...Put a lb of Hamburger in a sauce pan and add a few cups of water. Mix with hand tilll it makes like a Meat Pudding. Then put it on the heat> Browns up much faster cause the water gets hot and evenly cooks the burger. Dan
I asked the same question a few months ago.

The recipe I ended up with is in that thread. I used Mrs ~t~'s method of cooking the seasonings on top of the meat like her green chili recipe and really liked that. By the way, I've made them several more times for work and the mix freezes really good.
Check food network.com for the Neeleys Sloppy joes, They were great, bout one of the only things Ive cooked that they have promoted. It has a slight bbq twist on em. But very tasty.
I say the same thing about this stuffMy recipe:
1) One can of Manwich
2) Can opener
3) one ib of burger
say what you want, that chit's good.
