Do you put cheese on a sloppy joe? (1 Viewer)

[suchj0sh]

Fritos scoops, preferably.

 

[raynmanas]

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

i just told you i have a fork!

 

[raynmanas]

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

Next time you make sloppy joes, do this. I do it in my cast iron skillet and it's absolute fire.

No manwich.

 

[Highli99]

My default answer to “do you put cheese on….” Is yes.

And no cheese.

I make most things from scratch. I haven’t bought a jar of spaghetti sauce in probably decades. This isn’t about that. For me anyway, this is about revisiting a childhood favorite. Without pickles!

 

[JFCJ]

Add pickles and mustard, with ruffles on the side for cleanup.

 

[Colquhoun]

So, what's the recommended chip breakdown?

it's like every McDonald's conversation that has ever happened - no matter how much you caveat it, someone has to point out the obvious. no shit McDonald's is straight poison and i can make a better burger at home, but that wasn't the question!

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.

There are no tomato’s in chili. Not in any form.

Cheese, no cheese.... this is the travesty! Lol

I also put mustard on them.

A real sloppy joe is cold cut/deli meat of your choice on a triple decker of rye with Swiss cheese, cole slaw, and Russian dressing.

New Jersey people won’t hear otherwise.

Are these the same people who call a Sunday sauce “gravy?”

What about in manwich?

 

[Colquhoun]

I like gravy any day.

You got a problem with that?

No cheese and it's not even close. If you add cheese it is no longer a "Sloppy Joe". Just like when you add cheese to a burger it becomes a cheese burger or if you add cheese to a ham sandwich it becomes a ham and cheese sandwich. I've never heard anyone call it a Sloppy Joe and Cheese or a Cheese Sloppy Joe.....

Queso Joe

 

[Machine]

I'd eat the cheese, not the sloppy Joe

 

[Kensco]

She says it’s exactly like a meatball sub - it pretty much requires cheese. I disagree.

What do the people say?

It is nothing like a meatball sub. The sub has gravy, the Manwich contains BBQ sauce ingredients. Who is this woman? Disassociate immediately!

No cheese.

 

[CraigT78]

I will add cheese to a sloppy joe (Grandma's Recipe) but I'm not eating Manwhich.

I haven't had a sloppy joe in years. It might be time to make a batch.

Also, the next day - any leftovers get warmed up and added on top of hotdogs. "Joedogs" is what we called them growing up and man those hit the spot.

 

[dpeks13]

I haven't had one in about 30 years so I'm no expert, but I'd say cheese is acceptable.

 

[jpietrella]

The only correct answer is NO.

 

[leath]

I've never tried cheese or pickles on a sloppy Joe. It's but the way I think about them, but I'm not opposed and am willing to try one with those additions at least once.

 

[Labrat]

Yeah. Making a suggestion on here.

Should’ve known better.

 

[DuckFat]

Yes, cheese. You can also use Cheetos, Doritos, Ruffles, Pringles, or any other cheesy flavored chip instead of cheese. Surprised no one mentioned this yet, we always stuck chips into sandwiches as kids.

Sloppy Joe with Cheese.

There you go, first time for everything! Now you've heard it.
