Howdy there. I just kindly wanted to say, move over Sloppy Joe, there’s a new Midwestern kid in town! Iowa Sandwiches are known far-and-wide as the backbone of easy dinners. Our not-so-simple, hardworking folk still appreciate the ease of a simple meal with some splendidly seasoned, crumbled ground beef atop a hand-held toasty bun. We don’t go for all the fussy, messy sauce; we know we are better-seasoned and cleaner-cut than that. Even though some of y’all think we’re just out here growing corn, I’m here to tell ya that these Iowa sandwiches are our main claim to the fame game.
