The secret ingredient to this sloppy joe is the can of chicken gumbo soup. You might think that is a little strange adding it to the sloppy joe mix but trust me on this. I used to think this was really weird as a kid and when I found out my mom or dad had added that to their sloppy joe’s it grossed me out. Now it doesn’t. Maybe it was a texture thing back then, who knows? Early 20th century American cookbooks offer plenty of sloppy-joe type recipes, though they go by different titles: Toasted Deviled Hamburgers, Chopped Meat Sandwiches, Hamburg a la Creole, Beef Mironton, and Minced Beef Spanish Style. According to Marylin Brown, the sloppy joe sandwich began Sioux City Iowa cafe and they called it “loose meat sandwich” back in the 1930s. civilwartalk.com 5 from 2 reviews 1⁄3 cup reduced sugar catsup 1 tablespoon brown sugar 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 1 teaspoon prepared mustard 1⁄2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon chili powder 1(10 ½ ounce) can chicken gumbo soup(undiluted) salt and pepper to taste (see notes) 4 hamburger buns lite Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with WW in any way.
