How To Make sloppy joes
Creamy Mushroom Sloppy JoesThis recipe is much like the classic sloppy joe, but instead of a tomato base it uses cream of mushroom soup to hold the ground beef and other ingredients together.
Back in the 1960's my mother called this 'sputnik on a bun' and I have no idea where she got the name or the recipe. No one in the family seems to know either. But it was tasty and is simple to prepare on a weeknight, much like it's traditional sloppy joe cousin. I've heard others call this a 'white sloppy joe' and 'Davy Crockett Sandwiches'. The latter usually includes 1/4 pound of Velveeta cheese, but is otherwise the same. I darken the mixture a little with the Worcestershire sauce and also add a little Kitchen Bouquet, which is a browning and seasoning sauce, but that is optional. My nephew likes to put some cheese on these and I have found this to be popular. Shredded cheese that easily melts works best. Ingredients (4-6 servings) 1 tablespoon
butter Kitchen Bouquet (optional) Instructions In a 12-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir while cooking, 2-3 minutes until becoming tender. Add the mushrooms and stir into the onion until heated through and any moisture is evaporated, 2-3 minutes. Break up the ground beef and add to the pan. Stir to combine with the onion-mushroom mixture. Then cook without stirring until it has browned nicely on one side. Stir occasionally until it is completely cooked through. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup. If the mixture is too thick, stir in a little milk until it is the correct consistency to stay together when served. Add a little Kitchen Bouquet to darken the color, if you prefer. Place a helping onto a bun and serve. What is the difference between a Manwich and a sloppy joe?What's the Difference Between Manwich and Sloppy Joes? Manwich is the marketed version of sloppy joe sauce that you can find in the grocery store. It's meant to make Sloppy Joes easy to make, but the truth is that they are easy to make even without a can of sauce!
What is the sloppy Joe sauce made of?Add ketchup, water, brown sugar, mustard, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, red pepper flakes (if using), and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Cook over MED heat for 10-15 minutes, until mixture has thickened to your liking. Remove from heat and serve over toasted buns.
What can you add to Manwich to make it better?The best way to improve the taste of Manwich sloppy joes is to combine ground beef and sausage. Then stir in onions, bell peppers, seasonings, spices, and the Manwich sauce. Serve the sloppy joes on a toasted brioche hamburger bun with a crisp topping like coleslaw or Fritos.
How do I thicken my tomato sauce for sloppy joes?Generally for each cup of liquid you want to thicken, start with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Use an equal amount of water and combine it in a separate bowl with a spoon or whisk until it creates a smooth paste. Whisk the slurry into the simmering liquid you are thickening.
