RHODE ISLAND DYNAMITES

Another name for these are "Torpedos". These were a staple in our family for a quick meal that serves a lot of people. They are similar to a "Sloppy Joe", but in R.I. it is called a "Dynamite". This recipe is versatile and can be scaled down or up. It freezes well and tastes best if made 1-2 days ahead.

These are a classic Rhode Island treat. So delicious in a soft sub-roll with a little salt on top. This can also be cooked in a slow cooker.
