I suppose you don't like skabanananut sandwiches, either? =)

That's not blasphemy, that's a rachel. Different sandwich

I've been lucky enough to have never tasted it...but it sounds like
what my grandmother used to make (according to my father) and call
chop suey. This was outside Chicago in the depression.

my mother used to call the macaroni, ground beef, tomato AND baked bean
mess "old faithful". It was filling and easy to make from items in the
cubbard. (is that a word anymore?)
Just another comfort food when we used to all eat together.

Oh, give her a break, Wayne... it's pronounced "cubberd",
but spelled cupboard. And don't you EVEN BEGIN to tell me
you ever pronounced the P. I know better, brotha!

LOL Yes, pronounced "cubberd" "cubbard" whatever, but as we both know,
spelled "cupboard". She can have her break. I probably never called it
anything, or maybe cabinet. <g>

Only the functionally illiterate pronounce the p.... and yes, Duh'Wayne
qualifies.

Actually the only times I've ever heard anyone pronounce the "P" they didn't
pronounce the "B" ('cuP uhd).

As others have said, Sloppy Joes have a lot more meat. This recipe is my
favorite:

Sloppy Joes

1 lb. ground beef
tomato catsup enough to make it a meat-rich thick sauce.
1-2 Tbsp brown sugar
1-2 Tbsp vinegar
cinnamon (to taste)
minced onion
chopped green pepper
minced celery (just a little for sweetness) -- or celery seed

The cinnamon is vital IMHO

Brown meat and onions until no longer pink. Add green pepper and celery.
Break up the meat Add catsup until mixture has enough sauce. Just a shake
or two of cinnamon really wakes things up. Add vinegar and brown sugar. If
you wish, you can add proportionally more brown sugar and vinegar a
tablespoon at a time.
