I love making veggie-ful sloppy joes (HERE) with homemade sauce, but when time is short and tummies are hungry, it’s nice being able to whip up some delicious, quick sloppy joes in no time!

Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce

The Manwich sauce tastes great, but as a warning, it does contain high fructose corn syrup. I have yet to find a pre-made sloppy joe sauce without it, but please comment and let me know if you have any favorites! We try to avoid buying foods that contain high fructose corn syrup, but every once in a while it happens. Added a zucchini to try and balance it out, if that works…

Quick Sloppy Joes Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 8 hamburger buns or sandwich rolls
  • about 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • a little salt
  • 1 zucchini, chopped small
  • 1 can Manwich (Hunt’s Sloppy Joes Sauce)

Instructions:

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet.
  2. Add chopped zucchini and a little salt. Cook until zucchini is tender (but still has somewhat of a crunch to it!)
  3. Stir in the Manwich sauce. Let simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Serve the sloppy joe filling with hamburger buns or sandwich rolls. My favorite so far are these Crustini sandwich rolls. They were SO yummy!
