Manwich – A Great Choice for Busy Weeknight Family Dinners

January 21, 2014 by Classystaff

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Manwich. All opinions are 100% mine.

My family loves Manwich and it is one of our “go to” dinners during those busy weeknights when I don’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. It is one meal that the entire family can agree upon and brings us all to the table together.

We have enjoyed Manwich for the past several years but have always purchased just the Original Manwich flavor. We have never ventured out of the “Original” box until this review and now we are glad that we had the chance to experience some of the additional flavors that Manwich has to offer.

One of the reasons we are big fans is because Manwich is FREE of artificial flavors, contains no preservatives and offers a full serving of vegetables! We all need to eat more vegetables and you can never eat enough of those! Not only that, it is really easy to prepare!

For our review we received one can of the Original, the Bold and a can of the Thick & Chunky Manwich. As I previously stated, we are already big fans of the Original and were super excited to try out the other two flavors.

Two weeks ago the kids were over to the house and we decided to make the Bold variety since my son-in-law likes his food on the spicy side. While this Manwich is BOLD…it is not overly, mouth-burning spicy. It has a slight “heat” kick to it…but nothing that would cause you to reach for a glass of water.

You simply brown up your ground beef (or ground turkey) and then stir in your can of Manwich. Simmer for several minutes on low and then it is done & ready to serve. When the kids eat the barbecue they like it served on hot dog rolls or hamburger rolls. They like french fries or tator tots on the side. While the Big E’s sandwich doesn’t look pretty, he sure did love them and ate three! Yes, he is a growing boy at the age of 29.

Later that week hubby and I were out doing some local work and got home pretty late. We both wanted something hot to eat but we wanted it quick. I had some ground beef thawed out in my refrigerator so we decided to make the Manwich Thick & Chunky for dinner that night.

We browned up our ground beef, poured in the can of Thick & Chunky and left it simmer on low for about 20 minutes. That was enough time for us to change our clothes, make some baked potatoes in the microwave and make a pouch of garlic rice. Dinner was on the table in 30 minutes. Yay!

Just a few days ago we used up our last can which was the Original. We decided to bake some large russet potatoes in the oven and when they were done…we served the Original Manwich over the top. This made our baked potatoes super hearty and a meal. We didn’t need anything else to go along with it.

    I haven’t eaten Manwich in a long time. I din’t realize that the varieties were natural and preservative free. I think I shall buy them again.

    I love Manwich sandwiches. I make mine with ground turkey and also add a little bit of Cayenne Pepper. We toast the buns just a little and then I like eating my sandwich with some pepperjack cheese and some dill pickles.

    We are big fans of Manwich. My son is married and we will often send him a box with some in it because his wife doesn’t like it. This way he has some on hand to make for work or for when she is gone for dinner. IT’s quick, convenient, and delicious. We’ve tried the other varieties but original is our favorite. You just can’t beat it. I knew about using it in meatloaf and casseroles but hadn’t thought about it as a dip for chicken strips. They have a recipe for it though. I will have to try.

    Growing up “sloppy joes” were one of the meals that we looked forward to the most. My son grew up with them as well and of course they were usually made with Manwich. Never thought of putting over potatoes like that..Yummy!

    I grew up on Manwich, and I like to use turkey meat for the recipe. I think Manwich tastes great and it is nice to know that it is free of artificial colors and I like the original the best. I need to make this dish again!
