Okay, so don't laugh... I tried manwich last night for the first time at the recommendation of a friend. And while I'd say that overall it isn't really my sort of thing - what a great way to change up a meal! So this isn't really a recipe, persay, but it is an idea if you're working on healthier meals when you are craving something a bit heavier.
yield: 4-6 sandwiches
pkg of village hearth italian buns (80 cals a bun, if you can beat that, let me know)
2% american cheese slices (or go fat-free if you can)
1 lb hamburger: browned
1 can manwich
1. stir the manwich in with the hamburger
2. toast each bun in the toaster (adds a little flair), you could also broil with spray butter and garlic salt for a little more flavor
3. top bun with cheese and manwich
4. pig out
After I added everything up on calorieking.com, I was happy with the results. It comes out to 350 calories per sandwich...and they are filling. The buns are big and 4 ounces of manwich goes a long way. We had our manwiches with a serving of baked chips (90 calories). So for 440 calories, I was feeling pretty full...definitely worth posting about :)
At the 4 servings...if you use the 2% cheese it is 6.5 ww pts, with ff cheese it is 6.25 ww pts.
At the 6 servings...if you use the 2% cheese it is 4.5 ww pts, with ff cheese it is 4.7 ww pts.
In conclusion, just use the 2% cheese if it's cheaper...
