There are nights that life is just hectic. The kids have activities or I have been out running around all day and didn't plan ahead. Or even if I did, there are nights I am just not in the mood to think about what to make. I want to have a meal that is packed full of flavor, the kids love, and I know is not full of junk and is bad for them, like artificial flavors or preservatives. Plus, the kids think they are getting away with a treat dinner because they do not know there is a full serving of vegetables in it.
There is one thing I know I can make that the kids will love. I almost always have everything I need on hand, and it comes together so quick. Thanks to Manwich, sloppy joes are a breeze.
I can also change-up the taste a bit since Manwich comes in 3 flavors. The original flavor, thick and chunky and a bold flavor. I personally love the bold flavor but the kids prefer the original. Then I add in some thick and chunky sauce.
In my house, since there are 6 of us, including 2 teenage boys, I have to double just about everything I make. Leftover are always a bonus because the kids come home from school like a vacuum and devour everything they can find. A 3 ingredient dinner, that is on the table in about 15 minutes, is a win/win for everyone. As a bonus, since the kids have their hands full with their food, they are not trying to get on their phones. Even the Manwich TV Ads shows how a family can connect when the kids have their hands full of Manwich and not phones.
There are lots Manwich Recipes if you are looking for a twist on the classic sandwich. All of which would make a great addition to any weeknight meal plan. What is your favorite Manwich recipe? Have you made it a Manwich night lately?

I’ve yet to make these for the boys. I wondered if they would like them. Seems like your kiddos do!

I used to love manwich when I was a kid, but now i make my own with tomato sauce and some spices from the cabinet. Great idea for when short on time! oh … and potato rolls are a staple here 🙂

I haven’t tried Manwich in years. Not sure why… but I think I need to add a Sloppy Joe meal to our dinner rotation again!

My girls love manwhich nights!!!! Great meal for those busy nights!

Definitely an easy meal and my sons always enjoy them. The only problem is the mess. My sons refuse to eat them with a fork and so much spills out of the sandwich. But at least it is something they like.

Manwich is one my go to meals when I can’t think of anything else to cook and I need to feed the kids quick.

I have never had manwich, but have heard of others doing this for a meal. I may have to give it a whirl. It looks delicious.

I have been eating sloppy joes for as long as I can remember. I always have a can of Manwich in my pantry.
