They have an awful soggy texture, and it tastes mostly like a chunky tomato with peppers and onions which brings the question, why don’t you just buy noodles instead of bread to make a food that is actually edible? Pasta. And the name alone is also vile. Who is Joe and why is he sloppy??

I’ve never tried one before but they look so saucy, meat filled and good. I feel like if you eat more than one you’ll probably get sick but I just want to try it once.
Wet meat sandwiches are indeed a fickle beast, you really need to be the person building the sandwich yourself instead of having someone else serve it to you. True for sloppy Joe, true for pulled pork.
Mine aren’t soggy, at least not if you eat it right away.
It also shouldn’t taste like pasta sauce.
They’re fine with sturdy enough bread.
Well, I woke up early one morning to see all the pepperoni pizza was a looking at me
Eat not shitty sloppy joes
I’ve only thrown up one time in my entire life and it was from a sloppy joe sandwich. It was a school lunch, so I’m sure it wasn’t all that great to begin with. But, it’s one food that I cannot even bring myself to try ever again.
Rather have sloppy Joe filling on pasta than bread personally but I’m a biased Italian
Never tried either the sandwich or having it on pasta but I figure it wouldn’t taste too much different since pasta and bread are basically the same ingredients in different forms
Sloppy Joe is ground beef in bread, right? It’s not a thing in the UK but I’ve certainly made myself something similar in the past. I agree that the structural integrity is problematic.
I would say that the best solution is a crusty baguette, rather than sliced bread, but is that still a sloppy joe in that case? Genuine question.
You ain’t getting the right Joe.
😱 you take that back! Sloppy Joes are the gift of God!
I switched to what i like to call “regular joes” years ago. Use a hotdog bun , no mess.
That’s not an unpopular opinion
I finally met someone that hates sloppy joe as much as me. That shit is gross.
> And the name alone is also vile. Who is Joe and why is he sloppy??
One of the many theories of the origin of sloppy joe is that it was created by a bar owner named José Abeal y Otero in Havana, Cuba, in 1917. His nickname was Sloppy Joe.
In my opinion, a sloppy joe should be primarily meat based with vegetables to add flavor and enough sauce to hold it together not so much that it falls apart. Also, toasted buns are where it’s at. That keeps them from getting soggy so fast. Then you can actually eat your sides between sandwich bites, instead of having to force the sandwich down as it starts to fall apart.
I like em Extra slopppy for ya
wait till you hear the name of the most popular American brand
I agree with this. Grew up eating them, can’t stand them at all anymore.
Maid Rite > Sloppy Joe and I will die on this hill.
They are gross.
Try a homemade recipe instead of the canned stuff. This is a good one!

And thanks, I’m adding this to my menu next week 😆
SLOPPY Joe.
I’m just not a fan of loose meat sandwiches and BBQ sauce. Just press the ground beef into a patty and make a burger ffs.
I like to take the hamburger bun and press the bread down in the middle making a well of sorts on both the top and bottom bun. Then I can get more sloppy Joe on the sandwich without it all spilling out the sides.
Toast the bun, should he a tad thick and holding together. Sounds like too many tomatoes and in chunks? No, ty. Peppers even? Go back to the basics. The BBQ ones are great, too. Best sloppy Joe is from a slow cooker.
