Please don’t judge me for this one! ☺️ These Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes are so much better than the canned version—and once everything goes into the crockpot, dinner basically makes itself. 👩🏼‍🍳 SLOW COOKER SLOPPY JOES INGREDIENTS 2 lbs lean ground beef 1 red or green bell pepper, diced 1 medium onion, diced 1½ cups ketchup ⅓ cup brown sugar ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce ¼ cup apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar) 3 Tbsp tomato paste 2 Tbsp prepared mustard 2 tsp minced garlic (or ½ tsp garlic powder) 2 tsp chili powder 1½ tsp salt ½ tsp black pepper ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes 2 Tbsp water Buns, for serving DIRECTIONS 1. Brown the ground beef with the onion and bell pepper in a large skillet. Drain any excess grease. 2. Add to a 3–4 quart slow cooker along with the remaining ingredients. Stir well. 3. Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours. I don’t recommend cooking on HIGH because the sugars can burn. 4. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed, then pile it onto your favorite buns! 📌 SAVE this recipe for the next time you need an easy dinner! #EasyRecipes #nostalgia #EasyRecipe #dinner #DinnerIdeas
