We love this vintage original recipe for ground beef sloppy joe sandwiches, we just made it a little bit different adding strips of sirloin steak sauteed that give this popular sandwich a gourmet taste. The sauce is bursting with flavor and one of the most tender slices of meat after it simmers. Of course, you can stick to the traditional ground beef, this is a hearty sandwich that everyone raves about. Add a few slices of cheddar cheese and melt it for cheese lovers.
