Sloppy Joe Wonton Cups Recipe

We love a quick #ManwichMondays meal. That means a quick, easy, and tasty meal that I don’t have to spend more than 30 minutes making. Just what I need (and probably you do too) on busy Mondays! This recipe fits the bill perfectly for making Sloppy Joe Wonton Cups.

My boys like smaller portions of food, and making this version of Sloppy Joe is perfect. It’s less messy, and a smaller size means less cooking time, which is great for us on weeknights.

A muffin tin is filled with baked taco cups topped with melted cheese and olives, sitting beside a red oven mitt, perfect for your next gathering.

I made this recipe with Original Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce. It’s a hearty sauce with a slightly sweet and tangy taste. It also comes in Manwich Bold and Manwich Thick & Chunky.

Skillet with cooked ground meat, corn, black olives, and sauce, reminiscent of a Sloppy Joe Wonton Cups recipe, stirred with a wooden spoon.

Ingredients

wonton wrappers
Manwich Original
ground turkey or beef
white onion, diced
corn drained
black olives drained
ground cumin
chili powder
salt
black pepper
shredded cheddar cheese
*optional – green onion slices, black olives, greek yogurt**

Sloppy Joe Wonton Cups

I used a ground turkey in my Sloppy Joe Wonton Cups Recipe to cut out some of the fat and calories. With such a bold-flavored sauce, you won’t miss any of the flavors that you traditionally think of as a ‘beef’ recipe. I also used wonton wrappers instead of a cornbread or biscuit crust. This also cuts down on the calories. Adding just a touch of Greek yogurt adds additional protein and flavor without any additional calories. If you choose, you can omit the cheddar to save even more. But, I totally had to have the cheese! Plus, this is a family meal, I have to sneak healthier options where I can that aren’t so noticeable that my boys still eat it. Making these Sloppy Joe Wonton Cups was a complete #win with the whole family!
