Quick and easy dinner: Neven Maguire's Sloppy Joes

American Style Sloppy Joes are an ideal handheld dinner for hungry students finished a hard day at school.

This is a version of a sandwich that is an all-American classic, consisting of minced beef cooked in a spicy tomato sauce, often with the addition of kidney beans. It should be a hit with all the family and is very quick to prepare. According to legend, a cook named Joe at Floyd Angell’s café in Sioux City, Iowa, added tomato sauce to his ‘loose meat’ sandwiches and the ‘sloppy Joe’ sandwich was born. The rest, as they say, is history!
