Well after a aka google investigation it seems there was a guy named Jose Garcia who lived in Havana, Cuba and he served a dish based on a spanish dish called “ropa vieja” and the name “sloppy joe ” was born. This Jose recipe originated in Cuba around 1910.
Sloppy Joe’s are fairly simple sandwiches. Ground meat, onions, tomato sauce and seasonings. Usually a sloppy joe is served on a bun.
