I have never been a fan of sloppy joe's. They're messy, gooey, and stinky. They bring back memories of school lunches that were cheap and did not taste good. But, I had a change of heart tonight when I tasted these yummy Sloppy Joe's! They were more meaty than saucy, which meant less sticky mess in my hands. They had a nice bold flavor. This recipe will be fun to make for parties and dinners during the summer. I can't wait to make it again!
Brown 2 lbs. ground beef with 1 diced onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic.
For the sauce, you will need the following:
1/2 c. ketchup
1 8oz. can tomato sauce
1 6oz. can tomato paste
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/3 c. brown sugar, packed
Add the ingredients to the crockpot.
Stir together. It doesn't need to be smooth because the heat cooks out the lumps.
Add the meat mixture with the sauce.
Stir to combine.
Cook on low for 2-4 hours.
Mine cooked approximately 3 hours.
Look at that steam!
Serve on a hamburger bun.
Add fries/onion rings or a salad.
Dig in!
Another successful hit for this growing boy!
