I can’t find a single dictionary website that lists uncouth as a synonym of sloppy. I will go with a Slapdash Joseph instead. Or a Slapdash Josephine which is the same as a sloppy joe but with a fried egg on top.

Unkempt or Untidy would be more appropriate
They took the slop out of Sloppy Joes!
(This comment was mostly an excuse to point out Alton Brown is posting a Good Eats-esque cooking show again)
*Unslops your joe"
Yeah I saw that the other week, need to make that recipe
I've never done the whole bun thing, but I did take the filling recipe and used it for traditional sloppy joes. Was great.

I'm gonna do it with the buns, since I've got some experience baking.
Oh me too. But at the time I just wanted a quick weeknight meal lol
How would you like that cooked?
“Medium plopped.”

Ok, maybe not that fancy.
When I was younger, my dad would call them Untidy Josephs from time to time as a joke.
