What is "sloppy joe"?

A sloppy joe is a classic American sandwich that consists of ground beef that has been cooked with onions, tomato sauce, and other seasonings, then served on a bun. The filling is often slightly sweet and tangy, and has a slightly sloppy texture, hence the name. The mixture is typically served on a soft hamburger bun, and can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as cheese, pickles, or coleslaw, to add extra flavor and texture to the sandwich. Sloppy joes are a popular food item in many cultures around the world and are often served at casual dining restaurants, school cafeterias, and as a quick and easy meal at home.
