Easy Halloween Sloppy Joes
My grandma served these sandwiches every time I visited, and when I had children of my own, I made these sandwiches. My grandchildren enjoy it now, too. It's an inexpensive recipe to make, so it's great for a party. —Patricia Pidgeon, Sycamore, Illinois8 ServingsPrep: 5 min. Cook: 45 min.
