Especially if you own a hog named Campbell.
So far, this is the worst recipe of the week, no year...wait, so far
in 2009.
Sandra Lee would positively salivate.

Sloppy Joe = ground beef browned with onions and simmered with ketchup
and served on a bun.

Sloppy Campbell = ground beef browned with onions and simmered with
condensed soup and served on a bun.

Soupburger implies a formed burger patty, like say a burger with dry
onion soup mix in the ground beef. Indeed if you use the Campbell's
Tomato soup as listed in the options, it will be damned close to a
Sloppy Joe.

NO. If you start out with factory produced crap as a basic
ingreidnet, how are you not going to end up with crap? I don't have
problem except with the Campbells part.

Boil some dead animal bits into a stock and then, maybe, get some
hints from this recipie. How hard is that?

Take a deep breath, Kiddo. "-)

Your suggestion to boil animal bits maybe isn't difficult but it would
be problematic for some people: "What dead animal? Which bits? Just
water, nothing else? Vegetables? Any seasonings? What if I don't have
those? Can I use something else? How long? What do I do with it after
it's boiled? More importantly, when in hell am I going to find time to
do it? WHERE am I going to find the time? Heck, it's easier to just
buy a can of Campbell's." (Note to Bulka: We all make choices about
how we use our time.)

I posted the recipe because it came up in discussion in another thread.
I agree that scratch is probably better, and there is a population
(larger than you and I would probably like) that just doesn't care
about making perfect _FITB_; they just want something to put into an
empty belly.

Can I help you down off the ceiliing? "-)

Some definitions say a spicy sauce, not ketchup. Oh, wait, that still
leaves out the gumbo soup. "-)

Yeah? Sez you. :-)

I don't think that's what was meant when the recipe was developed, Pete.
I'm in my 60s and 40+ years ago I think most housewives of limited means
bought "hamburger." When I married my choices were hamburger, ground
chuck, and ground round. I don't know when the labeling changed to
ground beef with a lean/fat ratio stated on it.

Remember, too, that large corporations have test kitchens and hold
contests for new recipes (the contests are a cheaper recipe development
method) to use their products. The priority is to create something
marketable to the masses and affordable to same so as to move more of
the company's product. I can easily imagine the assignment to the staff
home economists: "Find four or five soups that can be combined with a
hefty protein to make a main dish for a meal. Oh, it shouldn't be
expensive and it should be quick to put together, too. Oh, and a catchy
name would be a plus."

Times change. Tastes change. Not necessarily for the better, either.
