Football season is back and I love making yummy food to have while we watch it. Since I’m now obsessed with my new slow-cooker that works so well I wanted to make Sloppy Joes. I looked all over the internet for a slow-cooker Sloppy Joe recipie for a slow cooker and didn’t find any that sounded right so I came up with my own. They were so delicious!! Just the right amount of sauce and a bit tangy. Perfect for a chilly Sunday evening. The ingredient list is small and they’re very easy to make. I eat mine open-faced as you can see below. They’d be great with some grated cheese on them as well.
Sloppy Joes in the Slow-Cooker

- 2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
- 1/4 red onion, chopped fine
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 1/2-2 cup ketchup
- 1 8oz can tomato sauce
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a medium skilled over medium-high heat brown the beef until it’s almost done and then drain out the fat. Add the green pepper and onion and cook until the beef is done. Then drain again.
- Add the other ingredients and stir to combine. Add everything to the slow cooker and cook for 2 hours on low. Serve on toasted buns.
Note: the ketchup amount is to taste as I like mine a bit more ketchup-y. But do what you like 🙂
