Manwich is a brand name canned sloppy joe product produced by ConAgra Foods, Inc. and Hunt's introduced in 1969. The can contains seasoned tomato sauce that is added to cooked ground beef in a skillet. It is marketed as a quick and easy one-pan meal for the whole family.

Manwich Heat & Serve was introduced in 2004. It contains both the seasoned tomato sauce and ground beef in a microwavable bowl. The concept is similar to Easy Mac.

The phrase most commonly associated with this product is: "A sandwich is a sandwich, but a Manwich is a meal."

A modern commercial uses the jingle,

"Momma don't make me another meatloaf,
forget the Mac 'n' Cheese.
I want a fun pile on a bun,
I want a Manwich please."
