Earl Cooks Not-So-Sloppy Joes

I couldn't tell you the last time I ate a sloppy Joe, and neither my wife (a.k.a."Turkey"), nor I could remember the last time, if ever, we had them at home in the last 40+ years. I don't recall my mother ever making them for us as kids either. I DO remember having them as a cheap replacement for burgers for school lunch and not caring for them then.Tonight I wanted to give them a try...with a twist.

 I had some good lean ground beef (85/15) and a can of Manwich® Thick & Chunky in the pantry. I decided to do it open-faced on Turkey's (a.k.a. my wife's) homemade bread. Since it was open-faced, I wanted to top it with some delicious Tillamook® brand Colby Jack cheese which I grated for easy melting. For a side dish, I had some multi colored carrots that I cooked sous vide which I added to the pan to reheat. (NOTE: When you sous vide multi color carrots, the darker carrots discolor the others, so if you intend to sous vide, separate by color!)
This meal turned out better than I could have hoped for, and my wife liked hers too (kind of ate it in her own way). This will be a good go-to week night meal.
