Nobody's fault, but it goes back to a summer theater experience one year. We toured Wisconsin and played in gymnasiums in towns that were required to be a certain number of miles away from any other live theaters. Very small towns.2 children's shows for matinees and 2 adult shows for the evenings. We stayed two days and moved on.
We pulled into the gymnasium parking lot mid-day and were met by the sponsors who fed us and introduced us to the various families that would put us up for two nights. The meal from the sponsors was always - sloppy joes. It was cheap and would hold safely even if we were held up by traffic. The families fed their temporary guests for two days. One of the meals, usually lunch, was always - sloppy joes. The third day, we traveled and set up at the next town. Rinse, repeat.
This is a minimum of 4 sloppy joes per week for an entire summer. They're edible and I would eat them if that were all there were, but I've already had my lifetime quota.
And this doesn't count the ones my family served. Usually red, but we acquired a white recipe from a family we sometimes camped with. It was ground beef with a can of undiluted cream of chicken soup, salt (as if the soup wasn't already oversalted) and pepper. As I got older, I insisted on at least frying a chopped onion to add, but that was the entire recipe. Yours sounds a lot better.
