No Manwich......but thank you for reminding me that I have a recipe tucked away in a cookbook. Last time I made them, years ago....that is what i used and they came out out pretty good.
Will have to find it....

Here you go! Rachael Ray is the best! Easy and quick. We use her receipes at least 3 times a week. All are fantastic!

Reduce heat to medium and cook onions, peppers, red wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce with meat for 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and paste to pan. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to simmer and cook Sloppy Joe mixture 5 minutes longer. Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, pile sloppy meat onto toasted, buttered bun bottoms and cover with bun tops. Have plenty of napkins on hand!
We have been on a Rachael Ray kick for awhile. NOTHING we have tried has been awful. I have a receipe for shrimp/scallop scampi, that I thought was really good. We tried her receipe and WOW, not only was it better, it was easier to prepare!!!! I now ONLY make her shrimp/scallop scampi.
You can get all of her receipes online at the food network site or buy her book. We have both.

When you have the time, deputy, will you post that recipe? It sounds like a good one to share.
EDIT: Deputy dinosaur has very kindly posted the shrimp/scallop recipe on another thread, and boy, does it sound good.
