I believe this is one of those handed down family recipes, but I am not sure. I do remember going though a bunch of hand written recipes when my Nonnie, which is my grandma, passed away and we were taking care of things. I also remember some sort of conversation about a recipe and a family member that had long passed and I believe it is this one because of the name Joesseppi, but can not be completely sure. I should probably ask my mom and see if she remembers.

Notes:
I used a homemade sloppy joe seasoning mix to help reduce the amount of sodium in the dish.
