Homemade Manwich



This weekend we went to a local butcher shop to buy meat.  Its called Jennings Premium Meats and all they sell is meat.  Well..they also sell. a little cheese and jerky, pickles, stuff like that but mostly meat.  The men in there were just going crazy buying stuff and my husband was just like all the others in there.  When we got to the counter I commented to the owner that his shop was was like Victoria Secret for men!  The other wife in line agreed with me and we both got a good laugh!

Saturday night we put delicous pork chops on the grill.  I have to admit, they were awesome!  And much better than the meat I get at the most famous big box store.  Sunday my hubby wanted a big huge hamburger.  Well... I'm not a fan of "big huge hamburgers".  A little meat goes a long way with me so I decided to try to find a recipe for homemade Manwich. 

I already make Sloppy Joes and those are delicious! But that's a different taste than Manwich.  My Sloppy Joes are sweet like baked beans.  But Manwich is tangy and chunky and I knew I could use some of my garden veges if I could just find a similar recipe.  I love the stuff.

Gotta love the internet.  I found a copycat version of Manwich, tweaked it a little bit to use what I had on hand and this turned out PERFECT!

I agree that just dumping a can of Manwich in the skillet would probably be easier, but you know me... I like to make things AT HOME MY WAY.  This is how I made Homemade Manwich AT HOME MY WAY:


Homemade Manwich

  • 1 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 onion, chopped small 
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 to 1 whole green pepper, chopped small
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard (prepared, the yellow stuff) 
  • Optional:  (I added 2 peeled, chopped garden fresh tomatoes, because I had them)
Directions:


  1. Brown the beef, onion, and green pepper until veges are softened. Drain any fat.
  2. Add remaining ingredients to the skillet (tomatos, if using) and bring to a boil.
  3. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Serve on buns.

Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Claussen) (Easy - no canning!)

Do you want to make the best, easiest homemade dill pickles in the world?   I found a recipe for dill pickles that tastes JUST LIKE Claussen refrigerator pickles.  Those are the best anyway, right?  That crunch, the dill and the garlic... and oh yea , the crunch!  This recipe is super easy because you  don't have to process these pickles which means there is no canning needed.   You just fill a gallon jar (we use an old pickle jar) with fresh cucumbers and dill heads, and then pour over the cooled liquids/seasonings.   Let it sit on the counter for three days, and then refrigerate.  After that, the pickle eating begins. They are supposed to keep for one year like that in the fridge, without canning.  (We let them sit for the 3 days, then refrigerated them overnight before opening the jar for the much anticipated first taste. Did they taste like Claussen?  YOU BET YOUR PRETTY PICKLE THEY DID!  We were all SO ex...

Buttermilk Biscuits - Just like Cracker Barrel!

RECIPES AT THE TOP - CHIT CHAT AT THE BOTTOM! Here's how we make Buttermilk Biscuits AT HOME MY WAY: Buttermilk Biscuits (just like Cracker Barrel) (Makes about 8 biscuits.) PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE Ingredients: 2 cups SELF RISING flour  (self rising flour gives the perfect taste to homemade biscuits) 1/3 cup shortening  (cold real butter also works here) 1 1/4 cup buttermilk*  *NOTE:  (If using regular milk combined with lemon juice vinegar referenced below, you only need 1 cup of milk because thinner regular milk uses less by volume than the thick real buttermilk.) Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (Make sure your flour is "fluffed" not straight from the bag;  Dump it in a larger container and stir using up and down motion to fluff it up a little bit-THEN measure out 2 cups).  Measure 2 cups SELF RISING flour into a mixing bowl.  Add shortening and cut it until small and crumbly. A fork works fine for this purpose ...
