Crockpot Sloppy Joes

Crockpot Sloppy Joes

A few nights ago I decided to pull out my crockpot which I don't use often here. I hadn't made sloppy joes for several years and never from scratch like I decided to do this day. Here is the recipe for these yummy sandwiches. The kids loved them too............well, Hannah said they were okay but a little to sweet for her, so next time I won't add quite the 3 teaspoons of Brown sugar as the recipe calls for. I always serve dinner with a nice green salad of Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers...........hubby had his Sloppy Joe with cheese too. Yummy and I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Crockpot Sloppy Joes

3 lbs ground beef (I use good beef)

2 tablespoons oil or shortening

1 cup onion, chopped

1 cup celery, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 cup ketchup

3 beef bouillon cubes, crushed

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 can tomato paste 6oz can

1 1/4 cups water

3 teaspoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon dry mustard

Heat oil/shortening in skillet and brown meat, discard fat. Combine all ingredients in removable crockpot liner, stirring well. Place liner in base. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours; or high 3 to 4 hours; or auto 5 hours. Serve over warmed burger buns, or noodles.

Bon Appetit!
