    When my husband and I rented our first apartment, and I actually began cooking, the first meal he asked me to make for dinner was Manwich. I had no idea what Manwich was until he said sloppy Joes in a can. I asked him if he was kidding and I told him that is definitely not “a meal.” By golly he wasn’t. He repeated several times saying they were the best sloppy Joes ever and I knew I had to make him think twice about that.

    I didn’t grow up on boxed, canned, or frozen foods and try to always make everything homemade. It’s in my blood. I know what is going into my body that way, and can cook healthier and substitute the bad ingredients for the good. Of course sloppy Joes are not healthy, but they are so good. However, this is actually very low in fat. This homemade sloppy Joe recipe goes amazing with my three cheese macaroni and cheese and is so good. Due to the Rotel tomato sauce, it gives them a bit of zing, but not too much. They are full of flavor. Toast the buns and you have a tasty home cooked meal, everyone is sure to love!

    My husband will tell you Manwich is NO LONGER the best sloppy Joes, but these are.
