This Manwich Casserole is brought to you by Manwich. All opinions are 100% mine.
This easy casserole recipe made with Manwich sauce, ground beef, boxed Spanish rice, shredded cheese, peppers and onions makes a great sloppy joe casserole that is so satisfying and budget friendly too!
We have all had those nights. Family members will be home late after a hectic day of work, school, activities, errands, etc. You know when they walk in the door they will be tired and half starved. On those nights, having a hearty and easily reheated meal ready for them, like this Manwich Sloppy Joe Rice Casserole, will be much appreciated.
Make it a full course meal by serving salad with Garlic Parmesan Ranch Dressing or some Pasta Frittata Muffins first and finishing the dinner with Coconut Bars or a Pear Tart.
The recipe features fresh vegetables and ground meat with Spanish rice and plenty of cheese, kicked up a notch with the addition of Manwich sauce. It certainly ads a nice sweet rich element to the dish.
This recipe is easy, but best for those evenings when dinner will be later as it needs some time in the oven. As the prep is simple, I still think it is a good weeknight meal though.
Manwich is available in three varieties – Manwich Original, Manwich Bold and Manwich Thick & Chunky. I used the original in this recipe, since I was avoiding making this particular recipe spicy and the vegetables were already adding chunkiness. You could use whichever one you prefer though. Any one of them will provided a big boost of flavor to the meal.
