I make my own Worcestershire sauce with these ingredients:
Apple cider vinegar, Molasses, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, clove ,chili powder, water. I wish I could tell you the amounts, it kind of depends on the amount I am making, and I taste as I go til it’s just right.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe! Manwich is my favourite favourite thing ever. I was sad when I started reading labels that I was never going to have Manwich ever again. This tastes just like it to me and I’m sooooo happy I came across this recipe!

I did not have worchestershire sauce on hand, but had some Eden organic Tamari soy sauce. I’ve replaced worchestershire sauce with the soy sauce in beef stew before and it turned out great. So, I gave it a try. We loved it!

I ended up buying the Lea & Perrins brand. Ingredients: distilled white vinegar, molasses, water, sugar, onions, anchovies, salt, garlic, cloves, tamarind extract, natural flavorings, chili pepper extract. I was actually pretty happy with that…no corn syrup at all! And the sloppy joes were DELICIOUS!! Thanks for another wonderful recipe!

I’m on the lookout for a better one also. Mine has corn syrup – not HFCS, but still. :(

I was so excited to make these tonight, but I got out my (old) bottle of Worchestershire sauce and there’s high fructose corn syrup in it. Ugh. I have a feeling they wouldn’t be very good if I left it out. Is there a better brand you use? It’s not something I use often, so I’ve never looked for a good replacement before.

In our family we always called them Sloppy Joes growing up, but now we
call them Sloppy Moes because my youngest sister Molly (Mo) likes to make them. :)

Yes, you could leave it on the counter or put it down into some hot water to start it defrosting. Once the water cools, replenish it with hot water again. Once enough has thawed to get it out of the jar (or bag) go ahead scoop it out into a sauce pan and heat in on low heat on the stove.

Beware though, if your frozen sloppy joe meat is in a jar, don’t just stick the jar in hot water right away or you risk your jar cracking! Run it under cool water first.

Hello! I have a question about your method of preserving this! In your post you say that you put it in a jar to freeze! Which I would love to learn freezer cooking! But my question is…how do you defrost this when you need it for a quick meal one night and its still frozen that day??? We made some and froze it in a freezer bag. We had to put it in the microwave to defrost ( i do not like using a microwave). Can you leave something like this out on the counter for the day (on a hot day) to defrost, or must you use the fridge for several days to get it to defrost??? (especially if its in a jar)

Thanks for your help!!
