the three s's stand for sweet, sloppy, and spicy. this recipe has many variations. you can serve it over rosemary potato wedges, mashed potatoes, with chips, in a dip, with pasta, or in a bun. instead of tomato puree i used traditional ragu pasta sauce because i was out of tomato puree. for best results use sesame sandwich buns
