pasta shapes<\/a> work best in this dish, so it’s easy to get some in every bite. Try corkscrew-shaped rotini, elbow macaroni, farfalle or bowtie pasta, or even egg noodles.<\/p>\nCould I use canned sloppy joe sauce?<\/h3>\n Absolutely. Canned sloppy joe sauce such as Manwich work well for this dish, and it will save time, since it contains all the ingredients to make a flavorful sauce. Choose a can size that’s appropriate for 1 pound of ground beef, and make it according to the directions on the label. You won’t need the tomato sauce or tomato paste if you use the canned sauce, as it already contains the liquid. You’re always free to alter the recipe a bit and add a little more tomato sauce, if desired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I'm the only one in the family who likes cottage cheese, so I just served it on the side, instead of putting it into the recipe (the guys wouldn't have touched it if I had put it in). Also, we live in a small town with two grocery stores and the only one who sells sloppy joe mix in pouches was out of it, so I ended up buying Heinz sloppy joe sauce in a can and used that instead of the mix, tomato sauce, tomato paste and water. Even with that change, it was still excellent, although I do want to try it again as the recipe reads. We had it with corn, fried potatoes and croissants and everyone cleaned their plate.
