Monday Madness!! (Sloppy Joe Sauce)

Mondays are always crazy for us!! That is why I always plan easy quick-fix meals on these days. We make our Sloppy Joe Sauce from scratch a majority of the time, but tonight we plan on a good 'ol can of Manwich!

We have KT-Q's Science Fair Award Ceremony to attend this evening!! We are so proud of her! Her project will move on to the Regional level later in the month.

I started making homemade Sloppy Joe Sauce a few years back when one evening I peered into our pantry and realized we were all out of Manwich!! I thought for sure that  my head was going to spin off into oblivion when I had a pound of ground beef to use for dinner and  nothing to make with it. That is when I put my taste buds to the test in an effort to make Sloppy Joes from scratch. I assure you, your kids will thank you for making this meal. It is delicious!!

Enjoy!
