Sloppy Joe Quesadillas turns your favorite childhood sandwich into a quick, griddle Tex-Mex treat!
I’ll have to admit, I had a lot of fun with this post! In the mail, I received three Hunt’s Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce flavors to try. It’s been a while since I’ve had a Sloppy Joe. I cook mostly from scratch. That doesn’t mean I cook only from scratch. I take shortcuts. easy recipes, and convenient add-ins. As well, I get tons of inspiration from commercials!
Recently, this blog has become a full-time job. I love it, but it keeps me busy! Wesley’s been busy at work. Lincoln and Ryder started school and are busy with all the activities that come with that. I was ecstatic at the chance to try all three Manwich flavors; Original, Bold, and Thick and Chunky. At least I knew what we’d be having for dinner two nights this week!
Hunt’s Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce is hearty. The original flavor is slightly sweet and tangy. It’s made with quality ingredients that are free of artificial flavors and preservatives. AND, it offers a full serving of vegetables! (shhhhhh!)
I served the Original flavor, well, in an original way… on a bun. I did add grated cheddar cheese to them. It was fab, all juicy and tangy just like I remembered.
I made these according to the directions on the can using 90% lean ground beef. However, I used slider buns and topped the meat with two tablespoons of cheddar cheese, since my boys like the small buns better.

As I was cooking the Thick and Chunky flavor, it reminded me of a taco I only had a couple of hard taco shells and Lincoln ate them before I could get pictures taken. He’s my picky eater, the fact that he loved it is quite the endorsement!
I did have flour tortillas and decided to try quesadillas. I couldn’t wait to finish these pictures so I could dig into these babies!

Manwich bold goes great with jalapeno peppers and chicken

Some people complain about everything. It is their toxic outlook in life. Your recipes found delicious, so I’m on my way to the store this morning to buy all 3 flavors of Manwich sauce! I’m so looking forward to it! Thank you!

It’s so funny that I found this recipe from the Saturday Show Stopper! My husband has been asking me to make manwich for years. Want to laugh? I thought the meat was in the can and that grossed me out so I never made it. I recently told him why I hadn’t made it and he laughed at me..for obvious reasons. Okay, I’m ready to try this so thank you so much for sharing. Pinning and making this. 🙂
Paula says
lol, we never ate them growing up, I think I did in college. My mom was a from scratch person so she wouldn’t have bought it. Yes, meat in the can would not be good! 🙂 I really, really like the Bold and the Thick and Chunky flavors and the dip is out of this world!
Julie @White Lights on Wednesday says
Oh miss Paula. Your dip and quesadillas sound super yummy. I can’t wait to bust out my sauces and make them!
Paula says
I love dips, I should be ashamed to admit I ate this for dinner!! (but I’m not!)

One other way I’ve used the Original Manwich that we really liked was to drain a couple of cans of water-packed tuna to mix with it. Then layer with a slice of sharp cheddar and a pineapple ring on the bun. We called it The Big Kahuna! That smoky tangy flavor is surprisingly good with the lightness of the tuna…
Paula says
That’s a great idea, Kathy!

I just found your blog through Homework Wednesday and I am now your newest follower on bloglovin. I haven’t had Manwich in a very…… long time and I am not a fan of ground beef but while I was reading it I thought it would probably be good on Chicken. I love the quesadillas and the dip idea. Fabulous! I hope you might stop by my blog sometime and http://homeandlifestyledesign.com
Thanks, Patty at Home and Lifestyle Design

I had not either and really enjoyed them, esp the quesadilla and dip! I’m not much a burger person either. I’m trying it with ground turkey next time.

Not sure when you did it, but I love the new look of your page.
I grew up on Manwich, well, in my teens. Always loved it. A quick easy meal that even the teens can do.
Paula says
I didn’t remember liking it so much, but it’s really good, especially the dip!
