Ok, I probably spelled Manwhich wrong, but anyway, what would be good
to add to it besides hamburger? I am in the mood for some easy sloppy
joes over yellow egg buns and some chips! Is there a better brand than
Hunt's Manwhich?

Thanks,

Homemade is better and not much harder.

Brown ground beef, onions, green and red peppers, combine mixture with
catsup, chili sauce, barbecue sauce (or any combination of the 3), a bit of
chili powder, cumin...whatever flavors you like.

Well....what result do you want? Can you match your description with some
spices you're familiar with? "Doctor up" could include the addition of
strawberry yogurt, but that's probably not the direction you're headed in.

What he said. It is not much more than trivial to make something that
will taste 100x better.

Since we are talkin manufactured canned Manwich...coolwhip would be a
better addition than yogurt.

Garlic couldn't hurt. Possibly those canned french fried onions too.

I like to melt a slice of American or cheddar cheese on my Manwiches.

More garlic is good... Last time I used this sauce, I added a
finely chopped clove or two. Plus some chipotle powder; I
*love* chipotle powder. (Just in mine -- it would cause my
wife's delicate Norweigian taste buds to burst into flames.)

(Which is, coincidentally, the effect lutefisk has on me.)

Throw that damn Manwich out !! ( using his best "Sheldon voice" )

Saute onions, green peppers, ground beef.
Add a can of Campbells tomato soup.
Pepper to taste.
( a shot of barbecue sauce if you want to go crazy )

Slice o' bread, Sloppy Joe glop..... repeat X2

If you must ... sliced onion and pickles.

I like to use Manwich sauce in and atop a meatloaf.

Tara

Sriracha to taste; Huy Fong brand is my preference.

I put this on nearly everything but ice cream. Although...

Insipid product (manwitch?) IMO, but i have become addicted to fennel
seeds cooked with beef. Certainly could not hurt the aforementioned
product. A bit of cumin would probly be nice as an alternative.

But if i wanted something like that i would take a can of generic
crushed tomatoes and 'doctor it up' with chopped green peppers, onion,
garlic, caraway, fennel, cumin, celery etc. add the cooked ground beef
in appropriate proportions let simmer for a bit and serve.

When i make burgers i use the food processor to chop onions and add them
and fennel seeds and garlic to the ground beef and cook the beef patties
for burgers.

Hey, that's not kosher!

For the OP:

To spice up Manwhich without too much extra hassle, I would probably
add some sort of vegetation in the presentation (chopped onion,
shredded lettuce, sliced avocado) and treat it as a sort of
sloppy-joe-taco.

That's what I do, too. I also add mushrooms and mustard plus some kind of
hamburger relish.

I'm with Wayne here. If you are going to take the time to add
ingredients, just skip the Manwich. In my bachelor days, I was
astounded to see my roomate cook spaghetti from a box mix. It had dry
pasta, a can of sauce and a little packet of grated cheese. That wasn't
so amazing, but he added all these other ingredients to it. He could
have skipped the box mix entirely, and saved some money.

Brown a pound of hamburger. Add chopped onions at the end of the
browning. Chopped green pepper or celery would be good, if you like
them. Add a can (8 oz) of tomato sauce, plus a teaspoon or two of chili
powder. Cook until it is the consistency you want. Serve over toasted
buns. I like to sprinkle my serving liberally with hot pepper sauce
(Tabasco or such).

Doncha gotta add a bunch of sugar... or ketchup? Otherwise it won't
taste anything like the stuff in the can.

I'd probably use onions, bell pepper, tomato *paste*, celery salt, a
pinch of brown sugar, and a bunch of W'shire sauce.

And touch of cinnamon.

I'm going to have to try this. I've tried several recipes in the past,
trying to achieve the flavor of the Sloppy Joes my mom used to make. I
think she used the McCormick seasoning powder in the envelope; I'd like
that flavor, but without using the envelope. Most of the recipes I
tried were too sweet-and-sour or too barbeque-saucey for me.

I also like that chipotle powder idea...when in doubt, throw in a little
chipotle!!

Seriously ... add a little cinnamon. I can taste it in the Manwich.

Carol, who's making Manwiches for dinner tomorrow.

Almost, I think adding both 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of salt would
approximate the "space food" taste.
