Must be the manufacturers have changed their formulas over the years. The last few times it was only me for dinner I had the packets with the ingredients ready to mix from a few different brands and they are not what I recall from years ago. I use to tell the wife how she could "improve" her recipe. I guess now I have to fess up that she was actually doing pretty good.

My wife changes recipes all the time. Drives me nuts! I'm a simple man--meat and potatoes. Never cared for packaged/canned "sloppy Joe" mix. I will admit my wife is a good cook. She makes Slumgullion with diced chicken, bow tie pasta, garlic and either broccoli/asparagus, broccoli/zucchini, or any combination simmered with Classico Sun-Dried Tomato Alfredo. Good stuff Maynard, She was surprised when I told her that was my favorite meal.

My wife won't use the packaged stuff either; she has her own recipe that tastes great to me.
True story: My wife & I went to a new restaurant one day. One of the items on the menu was: "Meatloaf like Mom used to make". I ordered that, took one bite and told my wife: "If Mom had ever made meatloaf like this, I would have left home!" It was really bad. Fortunately for other diners, the restaurant went broke in a short time.

Sloppy joes are one of my favorite meals. I don't mind the canned stuff in a hurry.
The one I like most is just a pound of ground beef browned and a can of Campbell's French onion soup. Let the liquid cook off and you have some great burger. Now I am hungry.

I've got grandma's meatloaf recipe, but am afraid to make it because I know I won't get it right. Handful of this, stack of that. Her's is the only meatloaf I really like. Usually anything that even kinda comes close is really greasy.
As far as sloppy joe's, I get the bold Manwich. And it still needs a little more kick.

We make our own sloppy Joes.
1 Lbs hamburger
1 8 oz can tomato paste
1 tbs chili powered
1 tbs mustard
1/2 onion chopped
1 teaspoon salt
Brown the hamburger, then sauté the onion in the hamburger grease. Mix in all the ingredients. Add black pepper if you like it spicier.

Had the packaged stuff once, never again. Would rather just have the plain hamburger. The ladies from the 50's era taught us how to make sloppy joe's. It takes a lot of ingredient's, about a dozen, some you couldn't imagine and hmhm good. Not any measured amount's. Just add till right
Gotta tell this about my friend, His wife always cooks, he can't heat water, well his wife had to go out of town for a few days and Larry had to fend for himself. One morning he gathered some bread and a can of that manwich to eat for lunch. he got the bright idea he would put on the manifold of his backhoe about 10:00 and it would be hot and ready to eat at noon. Well that worked pretty well, he made him a couple of sandwiches but said in about a half hour started to belch like crazy for the rest of the day. Someone asked him if he added any meat. Nope, just what came out of the can spooned on the bread. Didn't know you had to add meat. Said he'd never do that again.

I guess it never occurred to him to look beyond "manwich" on the can?
