Family dinner is big in our house. As busy as we are, family meals are a great way for us to unwind and enjoy some much needed time together. My husband and I look forward to dinnertime because it means stopping all work, and finally getting a chance to talk to our tween daughter about her day.
Manwich Monday
Even though I love to cook, I don’t have the luxury of spending hours in the kitchen preparing made from scratch meals. I just want dinner to be quick, easy, and tasty! That’s why I use Manwich Monday to start the week off right. As we all know, Monday’s are the worst— there’s always so much to do, with just a little amount of time. I know that on Monday, I can start the week off right with a delicious family dinner that everyone will love. The less time I spend in the kitchen, the I more I can spend with my favorite people.
It’s Quick
With Manwich, I can whip up almost any kind of recipe I can imagine with quality ingredients. It’s a hearty sauce with a sweet, tangy taste, and it comes in three flavors: Original, Bold, and Thick & Chunky. I love that because it means I have a base for almost any kind of recipe I can think of. The possibilities are endless!
It’s Versatile
All I need is Manwich and some ground meat (we rotate between turkey, chicken and beef), and I’m good to go. From there, I can do almost anything from top a baked potato to stuffed bell peppers. And if you’re not into meat, that’s cool, too. Manwich is meatless, which makes it perfect for carnivores OR herbivores. 😉
It Brings Us Together
Whatever recipe you find or dream up, the hearty texture of Manwich requires two hands to hold a bun or a knife and fork. Which means that the only thing to do at the family dinner table is eat and connect. That’s why I love Manwich Mondays so much.
My most recent Manwich Monday family dinner was Sloppy Joe Mini Pizzas. Let me tell you, those are dee-licious! I’ve modified the recipe from the Manwich website a bit to suit the taste of my family— but we all agreed that this meal was a keeper! It’s so easy to make and the whole family can get involved!
Mini Sloppy Joes Pizzas Recipe

Manwich Mondays – Family Dinner is Back!
Manwich Mondays are a great way for our family to connect, and I think everyone should give it a shot. Family dinner should be spent around the table, without distractions. It’s a time to talk about our day and catch up with our loved ones— not worry about what’s for dinner!
