Ben Franklin Five and Dime Store Loose Meat Sandwich image

Back in the 1960's there were the old Ben Franklin Five and Dime Stores and most of them had a lunch counter with swiveling stools. They also had a might fine little sloppy joe type sandwich which they sold for 23 1/2 cents. One day I asked the girl behind the counter how she made the great little sandwiches and she told me, so I wrote it on one of the napkins. I found the old napkin last week as I was looking through some old files. The little hamburgers were really a treat and the place was usually packed with customers enjoying them. So here is that special recipe, just as the girl told me back in the 1960's. I adjusted the amounts down to a smaller size, but that is the only change I made.

This sandwich is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the loose meat, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover meat. I had some leftover roast beef, and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

Overall, this sandwich was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The sauce for this sandwich was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred it with a more savory flavor.

The meat in this sandwich was a little dry. I think it would have been better if it had been cooked for a shorter amount of time.

This sandwich was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less butter or oil.

I'm not a big fan of loose meat sandwiches, but this one was actually really good. The meat was well-seasoned and the sauce was tangy and flavorful.
