Etymology

The term "Sloppy Joe" is believed to have originated in the United States during the early 20th century. The exact origin is unclear, but one theory suggests that it was named after a cook named Joe who served "sloppy" sandwiches at Floyd Angell's café in Sioux City, Iowa.

Description

A Sloppy Joe is a sandwich consisting of ground beef or pork, onions, tomato sauce or ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings, served on a hamburger bun. The dish is typically served hot and is known for its loose consistency, which often leads to the sandwich's contents spilling out onto the plate.

Variations

There are several regional variations of the Sloppy Joe. In some parts of the United States, it is known as a "loose meat" or "loose hamburger sandwich". In the Upper Midwest, particularly in Minnesota and parts of Iowa, a Sloppy Joe is referred to as a "barbecue" or "BBQ".
