I love Manwich Sloppy Joes. I don’t know what it is that makes them so delicious, but I could eat them everyday. That being said, I decided to make my own, at home sloppy joe mix, convinced that it couldn’t be as good as Manwich. The end result, the at home sloppy joe mix was pretty good, but still hard to beat the yumminess of Manwich that comes out of a can.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
4 Tbsp brown sugar
1 ½-cup tomato sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp allspice
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
4 buns
Add oil to a skillet and cook beef over medium high heat until fully cooked. Combine sugar, allspice, and cayenne pepper and sprinkle over the cooked beef. Reduce the heat to medium and add in vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic, cook for 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and paste. Stir to combine. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve. Makes 4 servings.
Thanks for the recipe. Was going to try to concoct something tonight because I believe the can of manwich, while pretty good, is likely pounded with excess salt and sugar. This recipe looks pretty good.
I think the only changes I’ll make are using a sauteed, finely diced mixture of onion and green bell pepper to start and I use 6-in-1 tomatoes for my tomato source. They’re really good.
I chose this recipe from all the others out there- it seems the most “interesting” while not going too far off the deep end!
