(Pleae disregard the Sponge Bob Square Pants plate :-))
Sloppy Joes has to be my least favorite meal. I loved them when I was a kid and requested them every chance I got. Then suddenly the idea of eating on was just the worst thing you could ask of me. I never really got over that.
My family on the other hand just loves them. I decided to think outside of the can and make them from scratch. To be honest with you they turned out really good. My family raved about them, and said they were far superior to anything out of a can. This will be on our keeper list. Thank you Jude for this great recipe.

My family loves sloppy joes, too. They are a big hit there is never a morsel left. (They'd love the Spongebob plate!)

I am at Sportsclips waiting for my husband to get his hair cut. I busted out laughing that you posted about the sponge bob plates. At least it was one of the nice kid plates not the faded out ones. I grabbed the first thing I could find that day. We love SB!
