I grew up eating Manwich Sloppy Joes and it’s one of my family’s most requested meals. It’s the only way I’ve ever made a Sloppy Joe. Browning some ground beef and having a Manwich Night is one of the Easy Weeknight Meals in my rotating list of menu ideas. Manwich is free of artificial flavors and preservatives and comes in three different varieties: Original, Bold and Thick and Chunky.
I told my friend about my opportunity to write about Manwich and I couldn’t believe she had never had a Manwich Sloppy Joe. I invited her family over for some Manwich Dogs and Mini Manwich Sloppy Joes. They were so quick and easy to put together. I simply browned ground beef and then added a can of Manwich sauce to the skillet. The instructions are right on the back of the can.
My husband grilled some hot dogs and I topped them off with the Manwich ground beef. I offered several other toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped onions and jalapenos. Instead of a chili dog we had Manwich Dogs. Manwich beef is tasty and takes much less time to prepare than chili.
I also made Mini Sloppy Joes because they can get a little messy and are easier for little ones to hold with both hands. I used mini Hawaiian Rolls and put half of a pineapple slice on a few of them.
These two quick and easy meal options give you more time to enjoy the Fall months and less time in the kitchen. Manwich is perfect for sandwiches and much more. You can find all sorts of Manwich Recipes on their website which will inspire you.

I grew up eating sloppy joes but I’ve never made it for the kids. Thanks for the reminder of an old time favorite. Love the idea of topping it on hotdogs.
Thanks Keri! It makes a great hotdog topping and it’s easier than chili 🙂
I too grew up eating Manwich Sloppy Joe’s. I don’t know why I don’t make them more often. I actually think that this is one of those meals that has gotten a bad rap over the years. Good idea to put the meat on hotdogs, I have never done that. Putting them on smaller buns is a great idea too! And you can never go wrong with Hawaiian rolls – yum!
Thanks Jeanene. I love a Hawaiian roll too! The pineapple also tasted good on it. I still remember the Manwich commercials from when I was a kid 🙂
Those look delicious! Perfect for a game day buffet. My boy’s would never try a “Sloppy Joe” just because of the name! My friend Joy told me a story several years ago when my son was at her house for dinner and she put a “Sloppy Joe” in front of him and he just stared at it!!!! I’m going to try a new approach and introduce it as the Manwich sandwich! He is 16 now…….I’m thinking the MANwich will be a hit!:)
That’s too funny Kristin! I actually use the term Manwiches more than I do sloppy joes 🙂 Let me know how it goes.
Needed a meal for a work day at the cabin and this worked perfectly:)
There’s nothing better than an easy meal except for maybe takeout 🙂 Hope you had a great weekend at the lake.
I haven’t had sloppy joes since I was a kid, but they’re definite comfort food to me! I grew up on them too.
