I love slow cooker recipes. I mean how great is it to start a recipe when you’re not busy and be able to waltz on into the kitchen at dinner time and serve up a hot, home-cooked meal? Works for me! Here is my Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes recipe… Easy peasy people!


Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef (the leaner the better)
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tsp mustard
3/4 c ketchup
1/4 c bbq sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbls cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
hamburger buns
Directions:
Yup, you guessed it – throw everything into your slow cooker!

Let your slow cooker work it’s magic for 3-4 hours on high, or 6-8 hours on low, stirring occasionally, and voila!

If your mixture starts looking dried out at any time, just add in 1-2 Tbls water to make it juicier. If it is too juicy, leave the lid off of your slow cooker for the last half hour and let some of the liquids evaporate to thicken it up. Serve up a healthy portion on a toasted hamburger bun and dinner is served my friends!

We love this recipe. If you like green chilies, add a 7oz can of chopped green chilies to it. We love it that way, too !

Looks great! I’m making this for about 15 people – have you ever made this in bulk/do you know what that would do to the cook time?
Thanks!

Don’t have cider vinegar can I just leave it out or should I replace it with something?

I would sub in another vinegar that you do have…you want that tang in there 🙂
