Sloppy Joes

I was walking thru the grocery store the other day looking for some inspiration.  Saw the hamburger buns and thought to myself why not make some sloppy joes..  Yummy hamburger creations with lots of  bbq-y (is that a word??? lol)  tomatoey sauce.... with some chopped onions and a little mustard (my husband likes cheese on his..) with macaroni salad and some baked beans and chips... It reminds me of summer.. which in this really cold, snowy, yuckky day I need reminding of..... enjoy
