FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

Why do they call them sloppy joes?

The name “sloppy joe” comes from its messy, saucy nature. It's said to have originated in the U.S. in the 1930s, when a cook named Joe added tomato sauce to loose meat sandwiches.

What is sloppy joe made of?

A classic sloppy joe is made with ground beef, onions, tomato sauce or ketchup, and spices. Our version adds a chili twist with beans, peppers, and bold seasoning.

What was the original sloppy joe made with?

The original version used ground beef and a simple tomato-based sauce. Over time, the recipe evolved to include more spices and veggies, like in chili-style sloppy joes.

What's the difference between sloppy joe and chili?

Chili is usually thicker, served in a bowl, and includes beans and spices. A sloppy joe is saucier, served on a bun, and has less liquid. Our recipe blends both into one bold sandwich.

What's the best buns for a sloppy joe?

A soft, sturdy bun like brioche or potato roll works best. It should absorb the sauce without falling apart. Toasting the bun adds flavour and helps hold everything together.
