Franklin Park PTA School Cafeteria Sloppy Joes
"This classic “Sloppy Joe” has been served in Franklin Park, IL, schools on PTA School Barbecue Day since the 1950s. This feeds a crowd, cut down or store in freezer for later. The cornstarch makes a very thick sandwich. Use Open Pit BBQ sauce. Serve with chips, chocolate snack cake and a carton of milk."
