I love sloppy joes, I make them year round,I have a bunch in the freezer, and one of my daughters is going to eat them for breakfast tomorrow. I thought I'd give this recipe a try, just for fun, she wasn't too impressed but that's because she's not looking forward to it--she's had enough of it already. The recipe starts with a very dry mustard, which I always add a touch of cayenne for a little extra zing. I always rub the mustard and cayenne pepper flakes through the sugar before putting it in the oven for the last 10 minutes, making the snack even more flavorful. The dough is not meant to be eaten, but rather, a treat--just like Reese pieces. After I toast the poppy seeds, I take the pan, and drop a bunch of them in, literally, drop one in the middle of the dish, and it'll do
