I grew up a Manwich® kid, thinking they were the same as sloppy joes. I was dead wrong. This is the real deal. Messy, yummy, kid-friendly perfection especially on a cold night.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more if needed

  • ½ onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef

  • ½ cup Mexican-style hot tomato sauce (such as El Pato Salsa de Chile Fresco®)

  • ½ cup ketchup

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 tablespoons mustard

  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in hot oil until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir until the beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard grease from the skillet. Transfer beef mixture to a slow cooker.

  2. Stir Mexican-style hot tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, cider vinegar, and chili powder into the beef mixture.

  3. Cook on Low for 2 hours (or on High for 1 hour).

Tips

Cook's Notes:

Butter your sandwich rolls and sprinkle garlic salt onto the butter; toast under broiler until just crispy. Assemble sandwiches and be thankful you're alive for this moment.
