I had a mad craving for manwich and discovered I didn’t have any and wasn’t willing to drive the 40 miles round trip to the nearest store. Yes, this tastes like manwich – even substituting V8 for the tomato sauce and garlic powder for minced garlic. I used a spicy brown mustard, since it doesn’t specify what kind of mustard. I would have given it 5 stars if I didn’t have to scroll through so much text to get to the recipe.
