I have to agree on the sloppy joes. I bought a sloppy joe and a scoop of mashed potatoes with gravy for $.32 every day for lunch. If I had found money at the bus stop or turned in pop bottles I had an extra $.04 for a small carton of milk. Livin large.

Slim weeks I'd have a PBJ sandwich and sometimes even 2 in the brown bad from home. The brown bag was usually an empty bread wrapper that I always had to take home for the next day.

Times were simpler and life was good.

On the recipe here's what my wife does. Not quite like the H.S. joes but I like them even better.

1 pound of hamburger
1 cup of catsup
1/2 medium onion
a small squirt of mustard
1 teaspoon of brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Good luck and happy eat'in.
