Wanted Recipe for Homemade Sloppy Joe Sauce

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, but that Manwich sloppy Joe sauce has a distinctive flavor and trying to capture it might be tricky.

Check the good ol Internet. There are a bunch of copycat recipes out there. That's where I found the Pop Eyes Chicken recipe and it's as close to the original as I remember.

Very true. Just hope you don't capture the runs it tends to give people...... lol
We actually found the same thing with Chili. Was able to make it at a lower cost than store and with better ingredients. We are now looking to up size the batch so we can start canning and lower the costs of the ingredients.
For example, we used small 14 oz cans of diced tomatoes at $0.90+ per can. We found we can replace it with a number 10 can of diced tomatoes. It goes on. Keep the faith it will work, but you may need to try 4-5 times before you get it. Once you do, put the ingredients and process on to a note card. You will need it later. Experience has taught me this.

Here's how I make mine. Cook your burger and add in onions and bell peppers if you like, minced garlic is good too. Then add a tbs or so of brown sugar, vinegar, and mustard. Add ketchup to desired consistency. My crew loves this version an won't eat the stuff from a can. You can adjust the sugar and stuff to make it sweeter or add some hot sauce to make it spicy. You can even sub bbq sauce for the ketchup and make bbq joes.

I simmer a big batch of this hot, tangy sandwich filling and freeze the extras. Then I just thaw and reheat it for a quick dinner. —Sandra Castillo, Janesville, Wisconsin

Where I am supposed to be.
I always made the traditional sloppy joes with ketchup....for some reason, last year, I didn't know I had run out of ketchup, already had the burger and onions cooking.....I found this recipe that calls for tomato paste....and I haven't looked back, lol. I think it is so much yummier than using tomato sauce or ketchup. And I think bell peppers make a sloppy joe, a real sloppy joe. Could just be where I was raised. I don't like oregano, so I omit it from this recipe.

A recipe I have been wanting for a long time. I found 2 commercial ones I would try to make copies of. They are HEB organic sloppy joe sauce and hirmel not so sloppy sloppy joe sauce. I guess I will go off the ingredient list and try to make the sauce portion by itself.

Definitely going to save these. We love "manwich" in a tortilla shell with rice. Makes a good filling dinner with a lot less carbs. (And we butchers a bull so got a LOT of hamburger to eat up!)
