I used to buy Manwich all the time when our kids were teenagers; it was an easy way to fill 'em up. A couple of weeks ago I spied a can in the pantry that I bought during the "Great Pandemic Food Hoard of '20", and I thought it would make an easy dinner. We actually liked it and it made 2 meals for us with a pound of ground chuck. We had it as "sloppy joes" on burger buns.
We usually have it with rice and some kind of green veggie; I love the gravy on rice. Then the leftovers make sandwiches on crusty rolls with muenster cheese.
I have heard that some people substitute chicken or pork for the chuck roast, though I haven't tried it.
That might not be bad. I go through cycles of what I cook. I used to keep shredded chicken, shredded pork and shredded beef in the freezer. Then when I wanted a BBQ sandwich or a burrito of any meat, it was mostly Heat & Eat. Speaking of substitutions, my younger brother used to make corned ham. He liked to cook, as did a friend of his, who turned him on to it. They would corn the ham themselves, just as you would corn a beef (brine it for a week or so.) It was very good.
I dont normaly buy that brand. I like the one No so sloppy joe...comes in a jar. If you find one try it out..mych better taste we think
-Salad -Roasted chicken thigh -Fondant potatoes -Fried asparagus sticks w/jalapeño pepper dipping sauce -Fudgesicle I don't know that I've often had a dinner without greens on the plate, but I swear there's asparagus under all that brown.
The hubby is picking up carryout from Popeye's on his way home from his mom's. So I'm finally trying the Cajun Flounder sandwich with a side of cole slaw. I'm sure it will look just like the picture.
Tonight's Dinner will be Steelhead with Lemon Beurre Blanc Savory Yam Puree and Asparagus. Sauvignon Blanc Wine Creme Brulee dessert
It was pretty good. Big piece of fish and fresh; not a lot of goop on the sandwich and a nice crunch to the breading. I wouldn't want one very often but it wasn't bad. (And it looked pretty much like the picture. )
