Whenever I know the day is going to be super crazy, I turn to my slow cooker. This recipe is one of my favorites! I set all the ingredients in the morning, go on with the madness (that some call being a mommy), and when dinnertime is among us, I just bring out the crock pot! Thank heavens for slow cookers!
Ingredients:
1 lb. hamburger meat
1 15 oz. can of your favorite Sloppy Joe sauce
hamburger buns
Instructions:
Cover in a jar of your favorite Sloppy Joe concoction- I used Manwich.
Use a large spoon or spatula to break up the meat. I am not a Sloppy Joe fan at all, but the sauce smells so good cooking. It looks like it has minced onions and bell peppers and a nice mix of spices in the sauce.
Put the lid on it and let it cook. I cooked this for 4 hours on high. (It was really done about 3 hours into it.) If you are leaving the house for more than 4 hours once the crockpot is going, just set it at the very lowest setting. Mine has a timed setting of 10 hours. Just judge accordingly.
You can choose to stir it half way through, or leave it as is and just let the cooking process do it’s thing.
Scoop the meaty sauce onto hamburger buns- you should have enough for 8 Sloppy Joes.
