When you cook from scratch for the majority of your meals canned and super processed foods can leave something to be desired. I like the concept of sloppy joes but was never happy with the taste of manwich. So we decided to look online for homemade recipes and modify, merge and tweak until we came up with a good recipe for our family. Here is is. Still has that sloppy joe taste, is a bit healthier and less salty and no metallic can flavors. And who doesn't love to eat with your hands and be messy! And this is still a quick meal. You could even prepare the meat in the morning before work, or when the baby is napping in my case, and reheat for dinner.
Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken breast (could use turkey or hamburger)
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup BBQ Sauce (we like a local place City BBQ)
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
ground pepper to taste
hot sauce to taste (we like it spicy so like 8 shakes of Chalupa)
sharp cheddar cheese slices (optional)
whole wheat hamburger or slider buns
Recipe
- Cook the chicken and onion over medium heat until done and no longer pink. Add oil if you are not using a non-stick pan.
- If you like your sandwiches extra saucy double the sauce. Add ketchup through hot sauce and mix thoroughly. Let the meat simmer for 5 - 10 minutes.
- Serve on buns and top with cheese if desired
