Next time get some salty potato chips and when sloppy joe falls off of bun scrap up with chips and eat like a dip , yummy. 🤤🤗

[@yvonneclaes5208]

Mom also served Sloppy Joes with sweet Bread and Butter round, flat pickle chips. Same concept. I would use them to scoop up the fallen Sloppy Joe mix. Between the salty potato chips and sweet pickles, it was a sweet and salty yummy delight.

Potato chips are good with sloppy joes. I also like potato salad with them.

Love your channel. Your family is blessed and highly favored. I’m a black woman from Alabama and your videos give the best insight into American culture. Food is cheap for us, so we show our love and care through food and we make a LOT of it. So, the fact that Americans that you’ve never met are so excited to feed your family gives you the absolute best insight into American culture and social norms. Because most Americans are of the mind that it costs me nothing to be kind and I may not have much else to give a stranger, but I can feed you. ❤

[@Miesque1973]

Amen. In the South in particular, food is love. :)

Constantly out of pocket for my team at work but I also feel blessed to be able to do so, or even cooking and bringing food in for the crew. We basically take turns and it's wonderful. We actually wound up with what we called a "car fund" where any change leftover from the last order was kept because nobody was worried about a few bucks and at one point almost had $70 in it last year, It's us, we gotta take care of those around us.

It's so cool that you guys love sloppy joes! the difference between Hunts (Manwich) and the McCormick is that the McCormick is spicier and the Manwich is sweeter.

I have figured out why this channel warms my heart so much. It's partly a subconscious, and now conscious, comparison. Any time I hear things about my country, and by extension me as "an American", it's always negative. People really hate us, and love to make sure we know it. Some of the things I read and hear, you'd think we were a different species or something. It's really nice to see a family say 'we're not going to be like others, we build bridges not burn them'. I adore these 4 precious souls.

[@IzzyBeth45856]

Actually, I highly agree with this! Upon reflection, I agree very much that there is a lot of hatred towards the states from other countries (sometimes it's not hard to see why because some of us don't like the way things are either) and this family is just so warm and loving. I love all their personalities and the family unit is just adorable!

[@mkshffr4936]

Growing up we just browned the hamburger, toss in a can of tomato soup, season with garlic, basil, and a touch of oregano, simmer to incorporate the flavors and you are done. For a bit of punch you could add a bit of cayenne. P.S. McCormick is one of the biggest spice mongers in the US.

[@13_13k]

Kj --- So simple, ketchup yellow mustard brown sugar onion worscesterhire sauce, vinegar onion powder garlic powder water I may have forgotten something but brown ground beef add the ingredients bring to boil, heat down to simmmer cover 15 20 minutes and serve. Best ever

[@Zurround]

I NEVER buy that damned little packet of "Sloppy joe seasoning mix". I have salt, garlic, and plenty of spices in my pantry and you might as well use the good spices you have than buy a packet of some weird ass sloppy joe seasoning mix that has artifical color and sodium and other crap in it. If you have some good spices in your pantry they will work just fine even if they are not exactly the same as the "seasoning mix" Same goes for taco seasoning mix. I never buy those stupid ass little mix packets and it always comes out delicious.

[@Zurround]

@@mkshffr4936 1. I recommend putting the garlic and onion in when the hamburger is already mostly cooked, not the beginning. UNDER COOKED is a GOOD thing when its the garlic and onion!. 2. I love experimenting with spice mixtures. I live a short walk from a big spice store. MANY spices are good in sloppy Joe and you never need to buy some bullshit little sloppy joe seasoning mix packet. An example of a spice that beats the crap out of the "seasoning mix" is the Ghost Pepper Curry but there are so many others. 3. If you don't have any hamburger buns what you made is basically marriana meat sauce and it would work just fine on spaghetti I bet.

[@lsrx101]

I'm late to this party, but wanted to share this. Sloppy Joe has been the basis of our family Christmas dinner for over 40 years, lol. We have always done our family gathering on Christmas Eve and my Mother long ago decided that another large family dinner so close to Thanksgiving was just too much. She would make a slow cooker of Sloppy Joe and a big bowl of coleslaw then set out buns, paper plates, plastic silverware and whatever addons that came to mind (cheese, pickles, chips, etc). Everyone else would bring an appetizer, dessert, finger food or something else to add to the table. The atmosphere is more like an indoor picnic, low stress, easygoing and easy clean up. We lost Mom on New Years Day 2020 but there's still always SJ and coleslaw in her memory. BTW, try coleslaw and sliced cheddar cheese on the sandwich. If you have leftovers, it's actually tasty over pasta for a different take on spaghetti the next day. cheers!

[@jojosephinedoris4671]

We also celebrate on Christmas Eve and do easy meal. Generally meatballs and/or sliced turkey brst for sanwiches, but maybe I'll change things up and do sloppy joe's nxt year!

[@cameoellis1363]

We started a soup and sandwich tradition in 2008. We lost my father in law in March that year and we wanted to get together but keep it simple. That leaves Christmas open for those with little kids if they want to stay home or if people want to go away. I’m sorry about your mom. She sounds like a beautiful person.

[@shadowcult464]

It's good also to cook the hamburger meat with onion. Onion is a good healthy veg with great flavor and helps the sloppy joes go farther.

[@1969jmac]

Manwich is probably the most widely recognized / known Sloppy Joe mix, in part to their catchy slogan "A sandwich is a sandwich but a manwich is a meal". I think a lot of us will relate to Manwich as like you suggested something that can be thrown together quickly and easily at the last minute to feed the family. However, McCormick is also a very good option as you saw. McCormick is a spice brand here in the US, they produce to many spices to name. So awesome to see ya'll enjoying an old school American standby. Although I will say I can't do the whole pickle thing, I prefer a side of chips to scoop up the droppings

[@thomasherzog3318]

[@plo1986]

So glad you all tried this classic. Remember though you split the meat between three types of joes mix. The powder mix is for a full pound of meat. So if you picked McCormicks it is probably because there was a little more powder to get a bit more of the spice in it. In either case Manwich did not come in last. Happy tasting.

[@ilianazamora3313]

I totally enjoy watching your family videos. I grew up on Sloppy Joes. I love that your children are experiencing all these different foods and how they help out in the kitchen. Thank you for all the respect and love you show to the US. I'm from South Texas and I lived watching your trip to Texas.

Great. Now I got Sandlers lunch lady song running round my brain! 🎶🎶Sloppy joes, slop, sloppy joes! 🎵🎵

[@beckygrant2258]

Sloppy Joes are a quick dinner meal. Our family has used both Manwich and McCormack. We use Manwich most often. Manwich also makes a Thick and Chunky version which has chunks of tomatoes and diced green pepper and onion….and also a BOLD version which has a more spicy kick to it, if you like more spicy food. They are all good and easy to make. I buy the thick and chunky version these days. Our family has sloppy joes about every two months. We have potato chips as a side, most of the time. But sometimes we have French fries or potato salad. Do you make potato salad in NZ? Here in the US, potato salad is at every cookout or barbecue or picnic. And there are many varieties. Some people make it with mayonnaise and mustard. Some make it with just mayonnaise. Some make it with ketchup. Some make a Baked Potato version with Sour cream and bacon. There is a German potato salad, which has a sweet/sour flavor. A friend of mine makes a Deviled Egg version. So good!

[@kathleenriley643]

My husband had a strong preference for the BOLD manwich, so that is what I always made and my kids liked it too! He also preferred the German style potato salad as that is what his Mexican mother always made. My oldest son's mother in law made deviled eggs one Thanksgiving and my husband made a real pig of himself, so I questioned him about it and he said they were the best deviled eggs he ever tasted, turns out they were totally different and had a bit of sweetness to them and my husband declared they weren't deviled eggs but angelic eggs. and that is what she now calls them.

[@ScruffyNerfhurder]

my mom always used the McCormick spice blend when making sloppy joes. This is a classic American weeknight meal when both your parents have been working all day and they just want something easy that everyone will like. It is a common working class meal.

[@Estenberg]

One of my favorite all-American sandwiches is the Monte Cristo. It was super popular in the 1960s & 70s here. It is basically Ham (thin-sliced Deli Style) and a white Cheese (usually Swiss slices), piled up between 2 slices of white bread lightly toasted - but then the whole thing is soaked in the sweetened Egg & Milk mixture that you would use for French Toast. Then you pan fry it in butter (or deep fry it) until the edges are slightly crisp, making it into a kind of stuffed French Toast filled with salty melted cheese & ham. Cover the warm sandwich with powdered sugar and serve with Strawberry Jam on the side. The Monte Cristo is a very cool and "Retro" sweet & savory sandwich that is found only in America.

[@western302]

When you mentioned "minced meat" as your term for hamburger meat or ground beef, as a native Texan I couldn't help but think of the sweet dessert pies my mom used to make called "mincemeat pie." They actually contain finely chopped beef suet, but can also contain apple, apricots, figs, raisins, brown sugar, brandy, lemon juice and zest, orange zest, allspice, cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, ginger and eggs. There are dozens of recipes that vary from this and include other ingredients as well, like honey and apricots. In the south it seems every family has their own recipes for almost everything. However, the star of this pie is beef and just isn't the same if it's left out (which you can do, but then it wouldn't be called mince"meat" would it?). One caution though. You might not want to tell little kids that it has meat in it... they might think that's yucky. When I was a kid I never knew what was in these pies, only that I really liked them. When I grew up I was surprised when I found out the "meat" in the name of the pie was quite literal. I don't remember all the ingredients my mom used in her pies, but if I can find her recipe I'll send it to you. With that, in your country do you guys have some kind of dessert pie that also includes meat?

[@deborahking5610]

My grandma loved her minced meat pie. According to our traditions, the meat was the basis and the other fruit and vegetables were things left over from canning, or left--over meals. The taste would be slightly different at times due to the sugar content, but with the crust and the meat, it was pretty much the same.

[@julieparham6674]

My mother loved mincemeat pies too! Would you please share l the recipe? I love apricots too!

Can't leave out the onions, and a bit of brown sugar and vinegar and green pepper and often I use diced tomatoes whatever you throw at it pleasantly sticks to the ribs...... Another good way to go is just ground beef and onions seasoned only with salt and pepper, just a loose meat sandwich. An alternative to the bun, is Grandma's tater tot casserole, you just put tater tots on top of your meat mixture and brown in the oven til the tots are crispy.... Yummy

[@russbilzing5348]

Only one suggestion from me. Don't pour off the pickle juice, keep it refrigerated. On a hot day, it is truly refreshing and I always have some around to enjoy. As there are many varieties of pickle juices, you may find that 'Bread& Butter' suits you better than 'Kosher Dill' or other types. It doesn't take a lot, a half a shot to a shot's worth is good. It can also be used to pickle bits of veggies or eggs and so forth. Starting with something you like is always easier than never quite getting something homemade to quite suit you.

[@shadowcult464]

Adding pickle juice to macaroni and tuna salad or potato salad can be an amazing secret ingredient.

I know I’m a bit late to the party, but as a Yank who grew up in the heyday of Sloppy Joes, I thought I would chime in. Canned Manwich is probably the standard because you just open a can and dump it in the pan with the meat. It wins by convenience, alone. McCormick is a very popular dry spice packet company here. They also have seasoning packets for tacos, enchiladas, various gravies, and so forth.

I agree about the toasted bun because it holds the bread together better when the sauce goes on. I like to put butter on it then toast it in the broiler.

Sloppy Joes are definitely an American wonder. 🥰 I like to sprinkle a little shredded cheese on it too.

There is a similar thing called “barbecue,” my families recipe is 1lb of ground beef, 1 can of Campbell’s chicken gumbo soup, 1/3 of a cup of brown sugar, 1/3 to 1/2 cup of ketchup, a a teaspoon (ish) of ground mustard seeds, and salt and pepper to taste. Usually this is cooked in a pot, and don’t be afraid to change the recipe to make it taste better, or make it more interesting!🇺🇸

If you ever can, try the Manwich Bold version, it's a bit spicier and has a far better overall flavor. The regular Manwich is great for sure but the Bold version I have found through taste testing to be preferred by folks that like a heavier more full flavor. Great video as always!

Got a place of my own when I was like 19. Was so excited. Went out and bought a bunch of cans of sloppy joe's. I thought the meat came in the can. You could imagine my surprise when I realized that no meat in those cans!!!! I made sloppy joe's with no meat but it was awesome anyway because I had a river view!

[@connix69]

Actually, it is kind of funny that you ranked them how you did. In my experience, here in the USA kids tend to prefer Manwich and adults tend to prefer McCormack. Those are definitely the two most popular brands. Of course, there are also variations that they all make, like "spicy", etc.

[@christopherbillings6294]

I think that's probably because Man-Wich is sweeter than McCormick.

Sloppy Joes are a part of every American school child's memory. Wednesdays were always "sloppy joe" day in my elementary school cafeteria, and I always looked forward them served up with sliced dill pickles and potato chips (you might call the "crisps"). I still love them to this day! It's one of the meals just about every American kid who attended public school has had. I'm glad you decided to try them. Easy to make, I know they'll be a family favorite.

[@MsMadmax1]

P.S. All the pre-packaged and canned versions of sloppy joe mix are okay, but you can make a homemade version that's much better. Takes a little more prep time but worth the effort.

[@ripper82]

There’s a “Bold” version of Manwich with more flavor than the original that I bet Nadine might prefer. Also it wasn’t clear if you drained the grease (fat) from the meat before adding the sauce. That can also make a big difference in the flavor - too much grease can drown out the spices. By the way, Vanilla Coke is sort of hard to find even here in the US, especially over the past 2 years since a lot of ‘specialty’ sodas have been less available during the pandemic.

Back in the 50's Sloppy Joes included finely minced onions, green pepper and celery which were coked along with the meat. Worschestershire Sauce was also included. Manwich has a lot of vinegar which I think is a bit overpowering. So I make it from scratch. With the veggies added it was really a meal. Blessings on your heads!

[@deboz8793]

@Jane Daves - yes indeed! That’s the way my Mom made it. I too find the Manwich overpowering and only use that if I don’t want to go to the trouble of making it Mom’s way! 😉 And the buns should be warmed so they’re soft and not cold.

[@robertwade1273]

Sloppy Joes were inventied in the1930's in cafe in Sioux City, Iowa, The chef added tomato paste to the "loose meat" sandwich he made. Manwich hit the market in 1969. Loose meat sandwiches is just like cooked (minced in your world) beef that is added to a bun - may have spices added.. It was really big in the north Central USA.

[@leecollings493]

It has the name, "sloppy"' for a reason... It's meant to fall out of the bun and hit your plate, so when you're done devouring the actual "sammich", you use a fork and clean up the tailings. Here in America, at least, Spokane, WA. we usually just use a fork and eat like wild animals. Manwich is awesome, quick and easy, but you can google a lot of homemade recipes that are way better than our canned stuff. Sloppy Joes over here are just a very tasty way to make everyone in the family happy on a full-on budget... Don't forget to make fries. Screw potato chips...

No matter which one you use dice up yellow onion in ground beef first to cook down the onion and about half clove of garlic a couple minutes before adding sauce…also slice several jumbo potatos into quarters long way and coat in olive oil and salt and bake at 400 for 25 minutes or so.. these are called JoJo potatoes… perfect for Super Bowl time !!💜

I always make it from scratch. The sauce is mostly made from stuff that I already have in the pantry and fridge anyways. Tomato paste/sauce and crushed tomatoes, finely-chopped and sautéed vegetables (onion, carrot, garlic, orange bell pepper, celery), yellow mustard, brown sugar, butter, bone broth, splash of red wine and/or vinegar, pinch or two of white sugar, Worcestershire, and various spices including but not limited to salt, black pepper, garlic and onion powder, basil, smoked paprika, ground coriander seed, ground mustard, and even a dash or two of clove. Sometimes I even add a shake or two of MSG because flavor bomb. Just let it reduce until the sauce is relatively thick and you've got yourself a delicious meal.

Instead of adding cheese to a sloppy joe (which good ones certainly do not need)... you can make a delicious and basic loosemeat hamburger sandwich with ground beef, tomato sauce, and garlic salt. On sandwiches of that, yellow mustard, onion, and pickle are excellent. You can make an easy variation by taking the basic loosemeat above and adding Italian seasonings (e.g. basil and oregano) and some dehydrated onion. Then serve *that* with cheese. Delicious sandwiches!

My vote would also place McCormick above Manwich (pronounced like sandwich since you asked). However; my favorite it just to make from scratch. You don't need to to add a million different spices, just fry diced onions and burger (mince), squeeze in some ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar and you have an excellent sloppy joe. put on a bun with pickle relish and a slice of cheese, and of course, some potato chips as a side to scoop up the fallen sloppy joe. Edit; PS, cherry coke is the old soda fountain classic, where the "soda jerks" would add in a squirt or two of cherry syrup into your coke. I don't know if you've tried that yet, but i think vanilla coke came out much later.

McCormick (the company) has been around since the late 1800s. If you go into any American supermarket looking for spices you will find them.
