Anyone here like (or remember) MANWICH?

[palmettomoon]

No! Not THAT KIND!

I mean the canned type that you add ground beef to in order to make a meal. As a kid I remember there being all kinds of yucky green bell peppers and onions and stuff in the sauce. Now, 50+ years later, I find myself buying a can to add to some ground beef and whoah! What a difference a few decades makes. The Manwich sauce I bought today was barely more than some ketchup with maybe a hint of Pad Thai sauce added. It is thinner than tomato sauce!

Anyone else remember the 70's version?

Yes I was equally disappointed when I got some to mix with deer burger

Yup. Had it once a week growing up. Mom worked so it was what it was. Haven't brought myself to buy any as an adult.

We make sloppy joes with the bold flavor and venison. I like it.

Had it for supper tonight, venison meat, sesame bun and good ole Kraft cheese.

Yeah, my mom worked too so we all kind of chipped in where we could to help. Making sloppy joes on mashed potatoes was something I could have ready when she got home from work (she called it, "Taking my smart pill.")

I remembered it being much thicker and chunky even. Not this stuff. It's about like taco sauce.

Usually I like my wife to make scramble burger for me.. scramble the meat , drain add chopped onions and whatever else you like.. then simmer with some ketchup and mustard.. I guess you could make anyway you like tho

Mom used to use/hide all the leftover bits of meat into sloppy joes. You never knew what the barnyard combo was going to be

My wife and daughter went to Buccees when it first openedlast year and got s few of those BBQ sandwiches and brought me one. BTW the one sandwich was like $6.99. When I ate it I told the wife that it wasn't BBQ it was a Sloppy Joe AKA Manwich. SO not worth it.
