A few posts back, I promised to share Joe's Whimpie Recipe......
You may know them as Sloppy Joe's but in this part of NEPA, they are called Whimpies!!
Why?????
I have no idea!!
When I first started dating Joe who lived about a 25- 30 minute drive from my parent's home, I was very confused when Joe's Mother called them Barbecues......
To me, a Barbecue was sliced pork or turkey with relish sauce on a bun.......

But first, let me Thank Bev, over at Eclectic Red Barn , for featuring my Beef Stew Recipe, from last week's Thursday Favorite Things party!!!
Please stop by and link up to this charming party!!
Joe is well known for his Whimpies since he has made them for different fund raising events at our church and they have been enjoyed by many!!
I am going to give you his basic recipe but when he made this batch, he tripled the recipe because we gave a huge container to our son Jim and his wife Danielle and we froze 2 containers for ourselves...
2 lbs. of ground beef........
1 red pepper, chopped finely.......
We cheat and buy these packages of already chopped onion and peppers from Wegman's!!!
Joe adds these ingredients next...........
9 oz. of Honey Barbecue Sauce
1 Tbsp. of Ketchup
4 tbsp. of Sweet Green Relish
4 Tbsp. of Dill Relish
1 tbsp. of Worcestershire Sauce......
Simmer , covered, stirring frequently, for at least 2-3 hours........
LOL!!
They freeze nicely in a freezer container for future meals......
It was 2 years ago ( March 14th, 2017) this week that we had our all time highest Snow fall and Blizzard, surpassing the Blizzard of 1993 which also ocurred in March........
There already was a foot of snow on the ground when I got home.......
Yesterday, it hit 70 degrees which was a fluke because our normal high temp. for this time of the year is about 46 degrees........
I took a few pictures of the snow and ice melting off our awning in the back of the house.....
Only Mother Nature knows......
I hope you will come back to visit again soon.....
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
If you do not have a blog, PLEASE give me some way to reply to your comment, maybe by including your email in your comment. If I can not find a way to reach you, I will reply on the post where you commented so please check back......

Mr. Sweet loved Sloppy Joes, too...me, not that much. My recipe was much like Joe's...
ReplyDeleteWhimpies are hamburgers to me...with ground beef.
There was a cartoon guy in with Popeye named Wimpy....and he loved hamburgers with a passion...this is what Whimpie means to me. When Bill was in college...there was a little burger stand across the street. Loving hamburgers like he did, he would order 2 or 3 of the smaller burgers...his friends started calling him Wimpy.
We call them Sloppy Joes here. I've never made home made ones before and I am definitely going to make Joe's recipe. My hubby will probably like these better than the canned which I will make in a pinch. You just cannot beat homemade! Thanks for the recipe and have a great weekend, Debbie. Hugs
ReplyDeleteNot something that I have come across before, but they look delicious. All that snow, I am so glad we don't get those amounts of it here.
ReplyDeleteOh yum!! Wish I was close enough to come for supper!!��
ReplyDeleteI do love "sloppy joes", although I've never made them from scratch but Joe's recipe sure is an incentive.
And I do hope y'all don't have many more winter days. Such an early spring down here, everything is blooming. And allergies have kicked in, if course..
Linda,
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by!! We have had snow here into April!! So even though Spring is right around the corner, it may be a little further around the corner here.... LOL!!
Hugs,
Deb
Back in 2006, 7 and 8 it seemed like every Easter Sunday we had a snowstorm when we were in Central Texas. Mother Nature is truly a fickle lady. Hoping we have a great summer after all this cold weather we've endured.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie! Joe's "Whimpies" sound and look delicious and I can't wait to try his recipe. We call them "Sloppy Joe's" here in Maine and, I think, most of New England. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Happy St. Pat's Day! ~Cheryl
ReplyDeleteJoe's Whimpies are similar to my own. We call them Sloppy Joes here in Wisconsin. A BBQ to me is just like the one you shared and now I am hungry for a BBQ AND a Whimpie! lol I wonder if there was a local eatery that was called Whimpies or something? I never heard that term even in upper PA. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWOW at he snow! Girl...that's lots of white fluff. We call them sloppy joes. Matter of fact I have not a sloppy joe in a while. Love your recipe too! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI love sloppy joes as we call them. I'll take a wimpy too. They look sooo good! When we were young we had the mixture served over rice too.
ReplyDeleteNow I will have to make some.
I love this version of Sloppy Joe's.
ReplyDeleteI could not find any other way to respond to your kind comment so i am doing so here!!
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Yum! That looks delicious. I haven't had a sloppy joe for a long time! And, yes, I've always heard them called sloppy joes. :) I agree with you on the "barbecue" term. Thanks for sharing this recipe at #heartandsoullinkup
ReplyDeleteI sent a comment earlier and forgot to ask, how are you gonna get to your home after knee surgery? That is a lot of steps. Betsy
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that looks and sounds delicious! We call them Sloppy Joes here, but I have only made them with canned sauce! Yum, I am so hungry right now would love to have one of those Whimpies! Thanks for sharing at Thursday Favorite Things!
