sloppy joe
Tomato-beef bun
A sloppy joe is a sandwich of ground beef in sweet, tangy tomato sauce, served on a hamburger bun.
The loose, saucy meat makes neat eating impossible—hence the name.
We're having sloppy joes for dinner.
In some regions, sloppy joe also refers to a loose, oversized sweater.
