Why is it called a sloppy joe?
The origins of this popular American dish are murky, but some say it originated during the Great Depression as a way to use up leftover hamburger. At that time, many people could not afford fresh meat, so they would cook ground beef into a loaf and slap ketchup on it. This concoction was eventually nicknamed "sloppy joe" by workers who ate them for lunch at their jobs.
Today, sloppy joes are widely consumed all over the world and can be made with pretty much any type of protein (or vegetable) you like. They can also contain variations such as BBQ sauce or hot sauce poured on top before serving. So if you're looking for a quick and easy meal that is sure to please your taste buds, give sloppy joes a try!
What type of food is a sloppy joe?
You can use unsweetened grape, apple, or chicken broth in place of wine if you want. Although it won't have the same flavour as wine, it will still flavour the dish and aid in deglazing it. You should cook the chicken for 10 minutes longer if you are using extra-large chicken thighs.
