This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Manwich for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Looking for a fun weeknight dinner idea? Look no further than this easy, filling, and wholesome Sloppy Joe Quesadilla Recipe!

Did you grow up eating sloppy joes? I sure did. I’ve known about Manwich for as long as I can remember, and there is so much nostalgia wrapped up in the brand. Manwich would like to be part of your family’s memories too, so why not have a Manwich Monday next week (or every week)? If you do meatless monday, never fear! Manwich doesn’t actually contain any meat, and you could mix it up with meatless crumble for a vegetarian sloppy joe. I used ground turkey in these sloppy joe quesadillas, but I have been using meatless “ground meat” more and more in pastas, nachos, and more. It would be perfect in this recipe!

The nice thing about sloppy joes (and sloppy joe quesadillas) is that they take two hands to eat, so it’s impossible to text and eat this dinner. (This one-handed stunt was just because I needed one hand on the camera. It was risky at best.) Turn off your phones and enjoy each other at the family dinner table with this easy, cheesy, messy-licious meal!

To make you even more excited to dig into a big ol’ sloppy joe, I have a giveaway for you! Enter below for a chance to win a fun Manwich Mealtime Prize Pack including a branded spoon, branded reusable tote, stainless steel sauce pan, a $50 VISA card (for grocery purchases), and of course three cans of Manwich (one of each variety)! I’ve seen my fair share of prize packs, and this one is really awesome. The pot has a spout and slotted lid for draining and the silicone spoon/spatula is nice and sturdy. I’m excited to be able to give one to a reader. Good luck!

Must be 18 years or older and live in the US to enter for a chance to win. Giveaway ends Friday, January 29, 2016 at 9am PST. See entry form for complete rules and conditions.

Sloppy Joe Sandwiches

I want to try the Sloppy Joe Cornbread Bake.

Can’t wait to try this recipe! I’m new to your blog and have found several recipes I love!

Thank you, Dawn. So glad to have you!

The Saucy Meatloaf incorporating Manwich looks like a winner, for sure–a simple way to change up an old standard.

I want to try the Meatball Hoagies

I would love to try the Sloppy Joe Sliders Pull Aparts!! They look great and all the recipes look like my kind of recipe…….easy!! Thank you for sharing!

I would like to try the Sweet ‘n Smoky Ham Sandwiches!

I want to try the sloppy joe cornbread recipe. Bookmarking that whole site though

Sloppy tacos…yum

Sloppy Joe Slider Pull Aparts sound yummy! I love Sloppy Joes and Hawaiian Rolls! Great combo!

I grew up having Manwich once a week or so. Have a ton of homemade recipes, but have plenty requiring Manwich as part of the recipe. Would go with the slider recipe, well since I love sliders. The stroganoff lookedmtasty as well. Thanks for the recipe and giveaway!

It’s really such a great recipe shortcut. Good luck in the giveaway. Thanks, Teri!

Thanks for all the great recipes you post. My children grew up with Manwich, too. I love it, and that looks like an awesome pot! Thanks for a chance to win.

Thank you, Susan. Good luck in the giveaway!!

I think I’d try the pulled chicken in the slow cooker. I never thought about using it with chicken, it sounds great. I’d probably make enough for a couple of nights & make it in to quesadillas the second night.

Oh that sounds good! I like BBQ chicken everything :) Thanks, Deb!

I want to try Sloppy Joe Biscuit Casserole

Cheesy chicken Dip………. I love dips during big football games.

The first recipe I’d like to try is Meatball Hoagies. I love meatball subs, but haven’t made them at home yet.

I’d like to try the Sloppy Jose Luis Sandwiches

These look awesome for a satisfying, but easy weeknight meal! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much, Kristyn!

I want to try the Savory Chicken and Pasta Skillet meal first!

Oh that sounds good, Sarah. Thank you!

I would love to try the sloppy joe mini pizzas for my family first. So cute and delicious looking.

I’d like to try the Saucy Meatloaf ~ now that I’ve seen the recipe, I don’t know why I didn’t think about it before!

Thanks for a chance at the giveaway!

I like the Sloppy Joe Slider Pull Aparts recipe.

That party sausage dip looks good!!

I’d love to make the sloppy joe mini pizzas!

I can’t wait to try the sloppy joe biscuit casserrole!

Party Sausage Dip is on my list to try..TY

I want to try the Sloppy Joe Slider Pull Aparts.

I’d make meatball hoagies first.

The loaded Mexican pizza looks yummy.

I’d like to try the Sloppy Joe Cornbread Bake.

The Party Sausage Dip looks great to me!

Sloppy Joe Mini Pizzas

I would love to try the Manwich Cheesy Chicken Dip..looks amazingly good!!

I would love to try the Baked Sloppy Joe Cups. My daughter would love those and it’s easy enough for her to make by herself.

I would love to make the Leftover Turkey Sloppy Joes recipe! I’ll be fixing a Turkey Breast real soon and this would be a perfect way to use some of the leftovers :)

I always keep at least one can of Manwich on hand at all times. I love eating just basic Sloppy Joes made with it, and I’ve used canned biscuits to make little foldovers with the Sloppy Joe meat inside. I’d like to make the Sloppy Joe Slider Pull Aparts for one of my daughter’s get-togethers with her friends.

Ooh, those foldovers sound so good. Thanks for the idea, Linda! Enjoy your Sunday!

I can’t wait for warm weather so I can try the Hawaiian Pizza on the Grill.

I might try the Baked Sloppy Joe Cups. I’ve been a little obsessed with muffin tin baking lately…for portion control…and they look cute on the plate :)

I’d like to try the sloppy joe cornbread bake recipe.

The Creamy Sloppy Joe Bites look great! They’d make a great light dinner with a salad alongside- that might just be dinner tomorrow. :-)

Hmmm…. manwich dip.

At first glance, Manwich® Marinated Beer Can Chicken . Not something I’d consider normally, never say never. I’m a sucker for roast chicken, always good for leftovers.

Making those Joes right now!

These look really good. I did row up on Manwich, yum! time to try the other flavors. Thanks for reminding me!

I love the idea of another way to enjoy manwich and I think we would love to try the Saucy Ham Sandwiches

Oh man this looks good. And sloppy. I know my family would enjoy themselves with these for sure!

It has been WAY too long since I have had a sloppy joe! I am loving your quesadilla version- yum! :) All of the recipes on the Manwich site look delicious, but I really want to make your quesadillas.

mmmmm! i would make the creamy sloppy joe bites!!

I didn’t know that they don’t contain meat! But that’s really good because canned meat? Bla. I love your quesadilla idea! I’ll have to try that next time. :)

Thanks, Erin! Hope you like it!

This one sounds like a winner for my family! Thanks!

Thanks so much, Heather!

I was expecting a bunch of recipes that all resembled a Sloppy Joe sandwich, but they have all the bases covered. My favorite would have to be the sloppy joe cornbread bake.

Yeah, who knew Manwich is so versatile! Thanks, David!

One of the first would be Sloppy Joe Dip. Great for football munchies

We grew up on this stuff! My dad still makes it to this day. I’ll have to share your creative alternative :)

Thank you Andi. Nice and easy.

The Chicken Dip looks good to me. I remember a few of these recipes from our family dinners in the 60’s.

Great ideas:) sharing yummy

This recipe sounds like one we would enjoy.
