My mother came up with this on night for dinner. It was in the lean years and the ingredients were what was in the pantry. It tasted so good, she began to serve it to our friends when they came over to visit. It wasn't long before they asked, when they were invited over, if she would make her Sloppy Joe mix. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
