Crock-Pot Sloppy Joes
My husband asked one day “why don’t we ever have Sloppy Joes for dinner”. Of course I replied “because you told me you do not like them”. Well a request was made, and of course I had a recipe for them in the crock-pot. 15 minutes of work at the stove and adding ingredients to the crock-pot and the rest is done while I put my feet up and watch a little television. This recipes makes about 4-6 sandwiches. Not a whole lot, but it is an easy recipe to double or triple based on your needs.

Thanks, going to try it!
Haven’t had sloppy joe’s in ages. And have never made them in the crock pot. Can’t wait to try this. Thanks.
This Was Way Too SWeet.Tomato Sauce Instead Of Ketchup Might Make It Better.
Why on earth would you use a crockpot for this? You are browning the meat in a skillet, so why not just cook there? I love to use my crockpot, but I want to use it to save time. This does not save time, it uses more. It does not take long to just continue on the stove. I just don’t get it. But, I appreciate the recipe; I will use it to make my own SJs without processed canned SJ sauce. Thanks.
Browning in the crock-pot is possible..but takes alot longer. This is one of those recipes that is great to plan for a party or a group. Or when you want to keep it warm but not keep the stove on. You can also cook the hamburger ahead of time, and then use it as a quick freezer meal (package the ingredients and pop in the freezer, bring it out when you do not have alot of time to cook and dump in the crock-pot)
I made it for a group pool party whereby guests could fix a sandwich when they wanted. Served with pickles, slaw, potato salad, chips, etc. Did cut the sweetness with a tad more mustard. Great recipe! Thanks.

Glad the recipe turned out good for you and your party Dianne!
This turned out to be a pretty thin sauce….how would you suggest thickening it a bit?
put the lid on the crock-pot slightly ajar and cook on low a little longer. It will get rid of some of the extra water. You can also use just a little corn starch and mix it in to thicken it.
I made these tonight…..really, REALLY good. I added a few more ingredients: fresh garlic, parsley, chili powder, and thyme. Because I’m gluten free I put mines on romaine lattice leave with a little cheddar cheese. Amazing results, my husband is pleased. Thank you for the recipe.
You’re welcome Tanisha, I am so glad you and your husband loved the recipe. Your additions sound great too! I love recipes like this one that can easily be doctored up to suit your own personal tastes.
Thank you so much for this recipe. Tonight is the second time that I made it in less than a week. It’s a hit in my family.
So glad your family enjoys this sloppy joe recipe Indira! We love that!
Hi
Thought I would let you know I made this yesterday as I was going to be out all day and then watching my son play football (soccer) and wouldn’t be home til 6pm.
I put this on in the morning, having chopped and mixed everything apart from the mince (ground beef) the night before. Then in the morning, I used frozen free flow mince (so it’s frozen in like little pellets) to throw straight into the pot, and turned the crockpot on low for 9 hours.
It tasted amazing and you certainly could not tell that the mince had not been browned first. Everyone loved it and I’ll definitely be making it again, as it was so easy.
So should I put it on 1.5 hours on high?
Probably closer to 2 hours on HIGH LC
