Current Events > Some people can't even cook Manwich?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Was making conversation with this young cat, probably early 20's, as we waited on line to pay....I saw his shopping items and I commented that he eats like me....so basically like shit. I can't really cook for shit.

So I was like have you tried making easy stuff like Manwich? I even explained that all you do is brown the beef, drain fat and grease and boom!

He shrugged lol

And I thought I was bad...

I doubt he could even do that.

In his car were gushers, cereal, waffles and some other shit. Nothing of substance.

Can even microwave the beef, add to skillet and add sauce to make it even more foolproof

I can't cook much, but if you can't brown meat, you have a problem.

He can't cook basic meals but I bet he has lots of videogames achievements -_-

Meh, some people just don't have much experience cooking. I use to live near a supermarket that sold this premade raw fajita mix. It was basically raw beef strips, peppers, onions and spices that you take home and cook in a skillet. My friend who was like 25 at the time bought it and thought it would suffice to to just put it in the microwave for a minute or two.

I hate manwich.

no, it's already explained in this topic :(.
microwave option still sucks except for a few circumstances.

I didn't realize they still made gushers.

I'm not entirely sure what constitutes browning meat. I also don't know how I would drain fat.

Please don't make fun of me :(

Nah. It's okay. I myself am unable to do a lot of stuff that would be common sense or easy to a lot of people. It's like whenever there is a home improvement project I always rely on Dad to help me through it. But for cooking it's all a matter of breaking it down into steps and making sure you have what you need (most products are good with providing you with the ingredients and steps you need on the back label). And the greatest reward is that most of the time you'll find that you'll enjoy what you cook and find it more delicious than the other stuff. You also feel a little inspired to be creative or try new things.

Ingredients (this is probably for four people, but it's plenty for me and my brother):
~15.5 oz can of Manwich original sloppy joe sauce
~1 lb of ground beef
-hamburger buns
-Parmesan cheese (or a slice of American cheese) as a condiment to your finished sandwich
-Pam cooking spray

equipment:
-can-opener (unless you got one of those fancy can-opening machines)
-large skillet pan
-spatula
-large colander (a big bowl with holes in it with which you will drain the fat, it's the same thing you use for macaroni)
-paper towels and plastic bags for catching the drained fat so it doesn't go down your drain
-stove

Steps

1. Turn your stove's heat to medium, spray cooking spray (1 sec.) on your skillet. Spread it around gently with a paper towel on surface.

2. After about 3-4 minutes, put your block of ground beef in the skillet. Browning ground beef means that you are chopping and dividing the beef into tiny pieces with your spatula and waiting until all the meat turns from pink to brown. It should look something close to this:



3. Once the meat is brown (which usually takes 10-15 minutes), turn the stove back to low and get ready for draining the fat. What I do is I put paper towels on the bottom of a plastic grocery bag and place it around the bottom of the colander so that it catches the drained fat (letting fat go into your sink and into your pipes is a big no-no). Pour the meat and drained fat (the gross brownish liquid substance) from your skillet into your collander. Shake the colander up and down so that the fat drips from the ground beef into the bag. It's hot, so be careful with it! I also wipe the fat off the skillet with a paper towel as well.

4. Once the meat is drained, put the ground beef back on the skillet and return the heat to medium. Pour out your 1 can of Manwich sauce into the skillet and mix it around with your spatula (or spoon) until the sauce has worked its way all into the meat. After that let it simmer (bubbling gently, but not boiling rapidly) while stirring occasionally for a few minutes.

5. It should be now ready! You can either leave it in the skillet on low or pour it into a glass container (2 quarts). Serve on hamburger buns and top with some parmesean cheese or a slice of cheese of your choice. I like to have french fries or tater tots with my sloppy joes.

You scramble the hamburger in a pan until it turns brown, then you drain all the grease out of the pan.

Literally so easy.
