I love to stock my pantry with supplies for making super-fast dinners. For my family, that includes the iconic Manwich. Both my parents worked when I was a child. My mom was famous for her family dinners that could be on the table in minutes. I am happy to have inherited not only that trait, but also a creative gene that allowed me to serve this Sloppy Joe Cornbread Casserole to my own family.
Manwich comes in a variety of three flavors Original, Bold, and Thick & Chunky. We are fans of all three varieties, and I switch the flavors around depending on the recipe I’m making. Nothing compares to the simplicity of using Manwich and it’s kid-stopping power. My daughter stops what she is doing and almost runs to the table when I’m serving sloppy joes made with Manwich. I can trust the quality ingredients to keep my family’s attention during mealtime and away from our usual electronic distractions.
For this new favorite entree for #ManwichMondays, I turned to my pantry not only for the can of Manwich, but also for two boxes of cornbread mix. Cornbread mix is a great stock item to keep on hand since it only requires and egg and milk to make. I layered the traditional sloppy joe meat inside 2 layers of cornbread batter. The resulting casserole eliminates the need for rolls. I know half the fun of eating a sloppy joe is the messy-licious-ness, but it’s ok to use a fork sometimes.
Did you know there NO meat in Manwich cans? The cans only contain the delicious sauces made from quality ingredients. The varieties are so versatile; you can pair the flavors with sandwiches, pastas, and even meat-free dishes.
