Manwich: The secret of the real American "Sloppy Joes" 🍔
If there's one dish that embodies the warmth of family dinners in the United States, it's Sloppy Joe. And to perfect this icon of American cuisine, only one ingredient has stood the test of time since 1969: Manwich . This thick, tomato-rich, and deliciously seasoned sauce has become a staple in American pantries. Its iconic slogan, "A sandwich is a sandwich, but a Manwich is a meal," perfectly encapsulates the experience: a complete, hearty, and quick meal to prepare.
At Pop's America , we offer the Manwich Original , the one that has been a staple for generations of Americans. It's the perfect base for those who want to recreate the authentic taste of American diners right at home.

💡 FAQ: Everything you need to know about Manwich sauce
Should I add any other ingredients to the sauce?
No, it's all already in there! All you have to do is cook your minced meat (beef, turkey or even a plant-based alternative) and add the contents of the Manwich Original box.
What is the difference between this and a classic Bolognese sauce?
Manwich sauce is thicker, slightly sweeter and has a typically American spice profile (more pronounced peppers and onions) which gives it its "Sloppy Joe" identity.
Where does the name "Sloppy Joe" come from?
Legend has it that a cook named Joe in Iowa added tomato sauce to his ground beef in the 1930s. The sandwich was "Sloppy," and the name stuck!
