Do you put cheese on a sloppy joe? (3 Viewers)

[upNdown]

One of my guilty pleasures is a sloppy joe sandwich - ground beef mixed with a can of manwich on a roll. This is not something I’d brag about. It isn’t healthy, it requires zero cooking skills, and it’s kid food. But like I said, it’s a guilty pleasure.

I don’t put cheese on a sloppy joe. I admit I’ve never tried it. I’ve never even really considered it, until this argument with a friend. She says it’s exactly like a meatball sub - it pretty much requires cheese. I disagree.

What do the people say?

1 slice of American cheese is acceptable. I don’t do it every time, but I’m not opposed to it.

 

[Tonysquander]

Not usually, but also not opposed to the idea at all.

Round chili cheese dog sandwich without the dog?

 

[Colquhoun]

It's called a Cheesy Joe.
Your cardiologist makes his house payments from these.

 

[Cratty]

I don't nor have ever thought about it.. but now that I am: Absolutely.

Beer cheese sauce, pepper jack cheese, American, so many possibilities.

While we're at it, lets also add in something with a crunch for texture. Fresh-made cabbage/vinegar based coleslaw please.

 

[WedgeRock]

Provolone?

Cheese and type are dependent on the mood; however, pickles are mandatory!

Indeed. Pickles also good. Rarely are pickles NOT good.

 

[pokerplayingpisces]

Can eat it either way. Sometimes I want cheese, sometimes I leave it. Great with a slice of American that gets all melty/goooey !!

 

[KHarp1]

Rather then cheese "on" I prefer cheese melted in, then slathered on bread of choice. Helps with cohesion.

I've never had a Sloppy Joe in my life. But now after pondering this question I vote yes. I would go with shredded cheddar, avocado & mayo too.

 

[LotsOfChips]

Shredded cheddar is the correct answer.

 

[Moxie Mike]

Nope. But in my own defense, I also don't put ketchup on my nachos or jalapenos in my cereal.

 

[Beakertwang]

Yes.

Ideally:

• Butter and toast the bun on a skillet
• Slice of sharp cheddar
• Scoop of Sloppy Joe
• Generous amount of hot sauce of your choosing. I like Melinda’s habanero.
• 4 dill pickles
• Mayonnaise

But anywhere between that and plain on a soft bun works for me.

 

[GodStillBlesses]

Heck no…….

 

[Cratty]

This is definitely the surprise rabbit hole of the day for me. I'm not mad.

Put one ounce of pressure on any of those sandwiches and you will require a spoon to eat the contents.

The correct answer is…sloppy Joes are just chili with ketchup. Might as well serve it on spaghetti.

 

[Cratty]

Gotta pan sear those buns for some firmness.

One of my guilty pleasures is a sloppy joe sandwich

ditto, right up there with chef boyardee ravioli for a guilty hit of nostalgia.

but i am a hard no on the cheese, or anything else to fancy it up. all i need is browned beef + a can of manwich + a raw hamburger bun.

though i do prefer mine opened-faced for a higher filling-to-bread ratio, which requires a fork - i guess using utensils is kind of fancy.

I say do what I did and ditch the can of Manwich and make your own. It’s simple, much better tasting, and healthier.

And no cheese.

Chips are your utensils.

I’m going to counter this by saying that if you Google image sloppy joe, out of the first 20 images returned, 17 of them appear to be nothing but beef sauce and bun.

My point was not what is most prevalent, but that cheese and other toppings look delicious.

 

[LowerBama1714]

By the way…sloppy joes are right up there with Cheetos on my “not allowed within a mile of my chips” list.

I’d also add that if I find out you’ve eaten sloppy joes within 24hours of my game, then you will be banned…they are sloppy going down…and…well…I’m not super into your sloppy Joe ass.

I’m a pickle-hater, so I’m having a hard time controlling my emotions.

Where's the hungry emoji

how the hell did chips get into the conversation?? sloppy joes require no condiments, and they sure as hell don't need any side dishes - if you need more food, just have another sloppy joe.

If you don’t have a pile of chips to scoop up all the sloppy that falls out, you might be doing it wrong.
