Mike's Fave Manwich Copycat image

Mike loved this. I read numerous recipes online, then did it my way. I hate ketchup & wanted to avoid using it, I think the balsamic adds the vinegar that you miss from the ketchup with a little extra sweetness & flair. I have an extensive spice rack & pantry, so substitute if needed.

I'm not a huge fan of Manwich, but this copycat recipe is actually really good. It's not too sweet or tangy, and it has a nice, smoky flavor.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili powder.

I'm not a fan of canned tomatoes, so I used fresh tomatoes instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe is perfect for meal prep. I make a big batch on the weekend and then I have lunch for the whole week.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used crumbled tempeh instead of ground beef. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to sneak in some extra veggies for my kids. They love the Manwich sauce, and they don't even notice the chopped carrots and celery.

This recipe is a great base, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add a bit of chopped onion and green pepper, and sometimes I'll even add a dash of Worcestershire sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Manwich turned out too watery. Not sure what went wrong.
