Beef Sloppy Joe

Cowbridge Kitchen

This recipe is great if you are looking to make something a little different with your minced beef. It can be used as an alternative to a bolognese and be served with pasta or as it is intended as a loose meat sandwich filling.

The origins of the Sloppy Joe are not clear , but is thought to have been developed during the depression as a way of making meat stretch further. The Americans certainly know a thing or two about fast food , and this recipe is no exception.
