Manwich is a well-known brand of canned sauce. It helps you make a quick and tasty meal called a sloppy joe. The name "Manwich" is a mix of the words "man" and "sandwich." It was first made in 1969 by companies like ConAgra Foods and Hunt's.
This sauce is designed to be added to cooked ground beef. It creates a simple, one-pan meal for the whole family. Manwich's famous slogan is, "A sandwich is a sandwich, but a Manwich is a meal."
Making a Manwich Meal
Making a sloppy joe with Manwich is very easy. First, you cook some ground beef in a skillet. You cook it until it's browned and no longer pink. Then, you drain any extra fat from the pan.
Next, you simply open a can of Manwich sauce. You pour the sauce directly into the skillet with the cooked beef. You stir it all together. Then, you let it simmer for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to mix and the sauce to heat up.
Once it's ready, you spoon the mixture onto hamburger buns. You can serve it with sides like French fries, corn, or a salad. It's known for being a quick and simple dinner idea.
Manwich Heat & Serve
In 2004, a new version called Manwich Heat & Serve was introduced. This product made making a sloppy joe even faster. It comes in a special microwavable bowl.
This bowl already contains both the seasoned tomato sauce and the ground beef. You just need to heat it up. This means you don't have to cook the beef separately. It's a very convenient option for a quick meal.
Different Manwich Flavors
Over the years, Manwich has offered different flavors of its sauce. This gives people more choices for their sloppy joe meals. Each flavor adds a unique twist to the classic taste.
Currently, you can find at least four main flavors of Manwich sauce. These include:
- Original
- Bourbon BBQ
- Bold
- Thick & Chunky
These different options allow families to pick their favorite. They can also try new flavors for variety.
