Â
I’ve been on the hunt for tasty bowls, so when I stumbled on one with sloppy joes, I was excited.
Â
Call me simple, but I love Manwich; have since I was a kid.
But I haven’t bought a can of the sloppy joe mix in years – until I decided to make it in a bowl.
Â
You’ll find tons of variations of the sloppy joe bowl online, but this is the one I settled on (with a couple of my own adjustments).
Â
It was delish!
Â
WHAT YOU NEED
Â
1 lb. lean ground beef
Â
1 can Manwich
Â
Sweet potatoes (I bought them already cubed)
Â
Coleslaw (I bought the chopped coleslaw kit from HEB)
Â
Pickles
Â
LET’S MAKE A BOWL
Â
STEP 1: Make coleslaw according to directions and refrigerate.
Â
STEP 2: Place cubed sweet potatoes on baking sheet lined with tin foil and lightly sprayed with olive oil.
Â
Season with salt and pepper and roast in oven at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes. I like mine extra crunchy so I cranked it up to 450 degrees for a few extra minutes.
Â
STEP 3: Cook ground beef in skillet and add Manwich (or use your own recipe if you like to complicate things).
Â
Let simmer until thoroughly heated and bubbly.
Â
STEP 4: Assemble bowls with a little of everything; a scoop of sweet potatoes, coleslaw and sloppy joe mix.
Â
Top with a few pickles (I like Famous Dave’s Zesty Dill Pickle Chips).
Â
It’s so good!
Â
Let me know if you make it or have suggestions on variations!
