I received this recipe years ago, and my partner adores it to pieces.

Reviews
Used a full bottle of chili sauce and used no ketchup. Added a couple splashes of Worcestershire sauce.
I am a die hard Manwich user.Until I made this! I did change a few things like I added 1 TBS minced garlic, 1 TBS chili powder (or more to taste), tsp liquid smoke and 1/2 c water, left out the brown sugar. I’m a convert! We like it less sweet and more spicy. I don’t think I’ll be buying Manwich any more.
Definitely making this again! My 16 year old rolls up his sleeves to eat this!
I made this and it’s really bland to me.
I left out the light syrup. It was sweet enough. Great for kids.
WAY to sweet for us. Right idea but just too sweet.
