How to Make the Best Sloppy Joes or Taverns

This makes a great meal, kids love this sandwich, serve with fries or chips, potato salad, what a great meal. Sloppy Joes is a new descriptive word to my cooking skills. I was raised in Iowa and we called them Taverns...enjoy and let me know if you just love 'em.

   Simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.
   Serve warm on hamburger buns with dill pickle slices and a slice of your favorite cheese.

Tips & Warnings

• Enjoy your sloppy joes. This mixture also freezes well for a quick meal. Remember to choose a good bakery hamburger bun and just as good dill pickle. We like a nice slice of cheddar or colby cheese to top our "taverns".
