A couple months ago, I also painstakingly tasted and tested the right amount of ingredients to have a written recipe for my sister and Amanda so they can make them too.
A little payback for all of those years of her making them for us. They are fantastic for leftovers the next day and you can also freeze them if you are so inclined, go ahead and make a double batch.ĭave asked me to make them this weekend so I did, and I took dinner over to Meme too. I’ve made them for parties, they’re great for college football Saturdays, and it’s a great main dish recipe for those pot-luck functions. It’s so easy to throw them in a crockpot to cook half a day so people can eat when they’re around… a must in a family with six children, six grand children, and six great-grand children, and that isn’t counting spouses. I always forget about the Sloppy Joes because she still makes them often enough herself that I rarely need to.
I can usually keep up with her pinches of this's and handful of that’s but it makes my cousin’s wife and my sister crazy because they are recipe followers. I’ve watched her do the Thanksgiving stuffing for the last four years and I still manage to screw it up. I have called her often and to ask for the recipe for her Beef Stew and her Lasagna. No one can do them like she does and she doesn’t have a recipe for any of them. My grandma Meme has a few dishes that over the last 89 years she has perfected.
