aka Un-tidy Josephs. Cooks a longer time; makes the sauce de-licious! This will freeze! UPDATE: I've reduced the amount of Worcestershire sauce due to reviewers' responses. Add more originally 1/8 cup if you like. :)

GRANDMA'S BEST-EVER SLOPPY JOES

Grandma's Best-Ever Sloppy Joes image

This recipe came from my grandma--one of the few we found written down! I grew up eating these sloppy joes as a kid and now my own kids love them too. Add the oatmeal in small portions and slowly--it doesn't take a whole lot. If you choose, you can also used minced onion to taste--works well if you need to cook more quickly!
