I live in the midwest and discovered Iowa loose meat when I moved here. The real ones don't have the ketsup though. The meat is mostly just simmered in a beef broth. They are definitely yummo though.

These are also known as Loose Meat Sandwiches here in the midwest. They're especially popular in Iowa. And good, too.

Thanks for your post re "Loose Meat Sandwiches," I was about to say the same thing. They are also widely known as "Sloppy Joes."
