Ngl, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad sloppy joe. Some that were more just edible than really enjoyable, but it’s hard to mess up browned beef with spiced tomato sauce.
But, yeah, you make a sauce yourself, really dial in the spice mix, and it can be next level good, waaaaay better than your school cafeteria joe.

I am shocked and horrified, as a lover of sloppy joes. I think a lot of people just haven’t had good sloppy joes, and so don’t have a good reference.
