Old-fashioned Sloppy Joes with Homeade Fries

This recipe was amazing. Justin loved it and so did I. It does take a little longer in prep time because of the fries but it is so worth it! Just make sure to start the fries first because that is what takes so long. If you go ahead and get all of the cutting, peeling, and chopping out of the way first then everything will go much more smoothly. Also, always remember to turn the oven on before you do anything else!
