We really enjoyed these sandwiches! Very similar to the Manwich flavor (as mentioned) but with a bit more tang. Loved this served with cole slaw and fries. Made for an easy weeknight dinner. Thanks for sharing. Made for the Fall 2008 PAC. -
Unlike ClutterCollecter I have never had a Manwhich but sloppy joes - yes! Find they make for a quick and easy lunch or light supper... and make for memories! Made as posted - has a good combination of ingredients. Will make again using a touch less vinegar next time around - and there will be a next time! Thank you for sharing. -
This one's very much like the Manwich mixture I've bought in the supermarket...The sauce really didn't get very thick, but perhaps another TBSP of the cornstarch would do it...UPDATE...I re-tested the recipe, after I found out the ideal way cornstarch should have been added...at step#2 it should be dump remaining ingredients EXCEPT the water and cornstarch...then in step#3 mix together the cornstarch and the water until completely dissolved; add to the mixture in the saucepan and cook stirring occasionally til bubbly...Evidently cornstarch should always be dissolved in a cool liquid before adding to a hot/warm mixture or it won't thicken the warm mixture properly...who knew? I'm saving this recipe (with my adjustments) for repeat use...in the end, a nice copycat of Manwich

I am a cookbook addict though I've bought less since Zaar has arrived on the horizon! My favorites have to be the Cook's Illustrated books - I really love the scientific aspect of food and how it all works!
