Mr. Food Test Kitchen Tip!
- Just so you know, we've tested this with turkey meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, and even meatballs with sausage mixed in, and all got great reviews.
- No need to mix and form your own meatballs! Look for the cooked and frozen variety in your supermarket. The package usually comes with 30 to 32 meatballs per pound.

According to this article on Allrecipes.com these sandwiches are believed to have been created by a cook in Sioux City, IA named Joe. He based it on loose meat sandwiches that were popular in the 1930s which had ground beef, ketchup, mustard, pickles. When he added tomato sauce to the mix, that's when it became "sloppy". allrecipes.com/article/what-are-sloppy-joes/

It's a meatball hoagie the only difference is you substitute the sloppy joe sauce for the tomato sauce.

I usually never follow a particular recipe, but did on this one....to find that this does not feed four! It would be too dry. In reading these, I would say to double all of them for four persons!! I made my own meatballs, and all was delicious!!
