Last night the grandson ate with us and we had carry ins
from Captain D’s. He said why don’t you make some sloppy joes Grampa. I said OK
we’ll have some tomorrow night.
I remember his Dad loved sloppy joes and requested them a
lot. He always wanted the Hunt’s Manwich sauce. I didn’t care for it but
obliged him a lot. Whenever I tried some sauce from scratch he didn’t like it as
well but I did! I think any I made was better than Manwich but I never wrote
any of them down to save.
I got a pound of ground chuck from my butcher and went to
the grocery for the sauce and buns. I planned to use a packet of McCormick’s
seasoning and tomato sauce. I was looking over the sauce and gravy packets and
found a sauce already made by McCormick and decided to try it. I stopped at the
Sutter’s corn wagon and got 6 ears of their white corn. The grandson loves corn
on the cob and so does Grampa! We gotta eat the corn now, another few weeks and
the season will be over.
I steamed the corn in my rice cooker, and browned up some
sliced new potatoes to have too. I browned the ground chuck, poured about half
the grease off and added some chopped onions. When they were soft I added the
sauce and let simmer about 10 minutes before serving.
If you need a sloppy joe fix I would recommend the sauce. We
all liked it, the next time I will try some chopped green peppers in it too and
maybe a tablespoon of vinegar for a touch of sour.
