      Manwich is a canned sloppy Joe sauce. We have other recipes for sloppy Joes on our blog that don't use Manwich. You can also substitute any meat with all of these recipes - Pork, Beef, or turkey. https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/slow-cooker-ground-turkey-sloppy-joes/ https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/bbq-pork-sloppy-joes/ https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/chicken-sloppy-joe-recipe-with-mrs-dash-seasoning/
