About 7 years ago when I started working where I am now, I had to break the news to my co-worker that corn and potatoes weren't vegetables. Sadness, I know :( She was especially upset because she hates all things green and nutritious and thought she was eating vegetables by adding corn and potatoes to her food. We always laugh when this commercial comes on at lunch, since I look a little bit that the Manwich girl, she says that's me.
So in honor of my co-worker and the Manwich girl I decided to make the Hubs Sloppy Joes the other night. (He was beyond excited) Yes, I could have just purchased the Manwich Sloppy Joe 'stuff' but I wanted to try and make them 'lighter' and what fun would it be to blog about making Sloppy Joes by adding a can to ground meat? Not as fun :-P

Yummmy! LOVE the sandwich thins...good idea!
Ok, so I cheat by using the Manwich can...but have you tried it using ground turkey breast instead of ground beef? I don't eat red meat, so I tried it out recently with that substitution and I loved it!
I usually go ground turkey, especially when it wont change the taste, but I did the meat for Hubs ;-) I'll do turkey next time :)
Aren't the sandwich thins the best!?!
