I didn%u2019t have Manwich so I used a sloppy joe envelope and I also halved this recipe. I didn't care for this dish as much as my wife, who gobbled it up. I am going to give this one more chance and with Manwich and see how it goes.

I expected to like this alot because I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to 'thrown-together-comfort-food'...but the cream of mushroom/Manwich combo didn't do it for me. My husband (who, BTW even ate leftovers for lunch today) said it was pretty yummy. So, I might play with this one a bit and re-review because I do believe in 2nd chances.

This was a HUGE hit with my family! My husband commented about the great flavor more than once and that's unusual for him unless he's REALLY impressed!! We will definitely be having this again!

Easy and flavorful, with a creamy sauce. Time-wise, quite do-able for a weeknight dinner. I made half a batch, as suggested, for 6 servings instead of 12. My children thought it was delicious. I served it with a mixed green salad. Thanks, peacefulnightdove!
