I grew up a Manwich kid, thinking they were the same as Sloppy Joes. I was dead wrong. This Sloppy Joe mamas recipe is the real deal — messy, yummy, kid-friendly perfection, especially on a cold night.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil , or more if needed
½ onion , chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 pounds lean ground beef
0.5 cups Mexican-style hot tomato sauce , such as El Pato Salsa de Chile Fresco
0.5 cups ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
0.5 teaspoons chili powder

Instructions

1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir until beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard grease from the skillet. Transfer beef mixture to a slow cooker.
2

Stir hot tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, vinegar, and chili powder into beef mixture. Cover the slow cooker.
3

Cook on Low for 2 hours (or on High for 1 hour).
