Breakfast Sloppy Joe
Author Notes: After an evening of cocktails - had to decide which to vote for in last weeks contest - something hardy is called for at breakfast.
Not being American I have no idea how real Sloppy Joe's taste, but I have always been fascinated with the concept, and here is my take. - Andreadoria56

This sounds great, I have lived in the US all my life and hate to admit it but I have never had a sloppy joe, Love the addition of the egg.

Thank you - it's great for a minor hangover - but may be completely off the sloppy joe mar. ;)
