How to Make Crock Pot Sloppy Joes
- Start by browning the meat. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until it’s nicely browned. This step is key for enhancing the flavor and removing extra grease. After it’s browned, drain the fat and move the beef to the slow cooker.
- Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic. These will bring great flavor and texture to your Sloppy Joes.
- Mix everything, toss the diced onion and garlic into the slow cooker with the beef. Then, add in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Give it a good stir until everything is well mixed.
- Cook it low and slow. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. The longer it cooks, the better the flavors will blend.
- When it is ready, give the Sloppy Joe mixture a final stir and check the seasoning. Serve it hot on soft hamburger buns. Pair it with coleslaw, potato chips, or a simple salad for a delicious meal.
