Sloppy Joe Wonton Cups Recipe, I lightened up traditional Sloppy Joes without sacrificing flavor. This is perfect for snack, dinner or parties!
We love a quick #ManwichMondays meal. That means a quick, easy, and tasty meal that I don’t have to spend more than 30 minutes making. Just what I need (and probably you do too) on busy Mondays! This recipe fits the bill perfectly.
My boys like smaller portioned foods and making this version of a Sloppy Joe is perfect. It’s less messy and smaller size means less cooking time. Which is great for us on weeknights.
I made this recipe with Original Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce. It’s a hearty sauce with a slightly sweet and tangy taste. It also comes in Manwich Bold and Manwich Thick & Chunky.
Sloppy Joe Wonton Cups Recipe
I used a ground turkey in my Sloppy Joe Wonton Cups Recipe to cut out some of the fat and calories. With such a bold-flavored sauce, you won’t miss any of the flavors that you traditionally think of as a ‘beef’ recipe. I also used wonton wrappers instead of a cornbread or biscuit crust. This also cuts down on the calories. Adding just a touch of Greek yogurt adds additional protein and flavor without any additional calories. If you choose, you can omit the cheddar to save even more. But, I totally had to have the cheese! Plus, this is a family meal, I have to sneak healthier options where I can that aren’t so noticeable that my boys still eat it. This was a complete #win with the whole family!

Nutritional information given is an automatic calculation and can vary based on the exact products you use and changes you make to the recipe. If these numbers are important to you, I recommend calculating them yourself.
From your recipe and calorie count, would 1 serving be 1 wonton sloppy joe? … or more? Haven’t tried it yet but plan on it for a party where several of us are on a weight loss program.
Yes, one cup is one serving. You could use a low sugar tomato/spaghetti sauce or enchilada sauce instead of the Manwich sauce and cut the calories even more.
My kids love the sloppy joe wontons – this recipe is now a regular item for school lunches😊 Thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m so happy they like them.
I want to try the Sloppy Joe Tacos.
I love cornbread so I would make the Sloppy Joe Cornbread Bake, but I would substitute the original sloppy joe for spicy and I would also substitute the pkg of corn muffin mix for homemade cornbread mix. I would also, as some commenters did, add cheese and probably peppers. I also want to try these sloppy joe wonton cups.
I love these sloppy joe wonton cups! What a fun idea. I’m betting our kids would love the baked sloppy joe cups also. Definitely have to keep those both in mind.
We are a biscuit-loving family, so the sloppy joe biscuit casserole is the recipe I am most interested in.
Sloppy Joe Tacos sound delicious!
These wonton cups are adorable! Love the idea of stuffing them with a sloppy joe filling!
I would like to try the Hawaiian Pizza on the Grill
