I used to be terrified of sloppy joes. When I was a little girl, I got it in my head that sloppy joes were demons, and that if I ate them I'd become possessed and die. But thanks to my best friend Becky, who was a strong Baptist, demon possession was among the largest of my childhood fears. Sloppy Joes take me back to the good old days of summer vacations. Every year my mom would make a giant batch of this recipe, freeze it, and stow it in the car during our annual trip to northern Wisconsin.
