Sloppy Joe's

No problem, no rules. If you have leftovers, try SJ over a lettuce that holds up to heat, like romaine. Top it with your favorite dressing and you have another meal.

I'm leery of hot meat on salads, though I do like a good taco salad or grilled chicken salad.

I usually use a canned sauce, either Manwich or Del Monte, but more out of laziness. It's good, but almost too sweet. If/when I make my own it's because I want something less sweet.

Making your own is infinitely better, a little more time, but in the end it's not bad. Chopping some bell peppers and onions is likely the toughest portion of it. And you can scale back on the sweet by not using as much brown sugar as the recipe calls for. I've made my own for some time, but just the other week we were being super lazy at home and we had a can of manwich, so I made that instead of from scratch. It's not that it wasn't edible or OK...but that was about the end of it. It was OK. My homemade sloppy joes are awesome, though.
 
Have never liked the stuff, I'd rather make this instead:
