Instructions
- Add oil to a large pan over low to medium heat and sweat the peppers and garlic for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add in the ground beef, turn the heat to medium and cook until all of the pink is gone, about 7-9 minutes.

- Finish by stirring in salt and pepper and serve on buns with optional toppings.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This is meant to be eaten when it's done cooking. However, keep it warm and covered over low heat for up to 30 minutes before serving.
- How to Store: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep it covered in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw for 1 day in the refrigerator before reheating it.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired amount of sloppy joe into a saucepan and cook over low heat until hot. You can also heat it in the microwave until hot.
- This recipe makes a lot of sloppy joes, so please scale down or up to fit your needs. Place your cursor over the serving amount in the recipe card and slide up or down to scale.
- Try serving this with Southern Potato Salad or Pasta Salad.
- Manwich is a processed and canned sauce that has attempted to replicate the original sauce with its take. It can be purchased from the grocery store, but I can promise you the homemade version is far superior to this.
