Crockpot Sloppy Joes Recipe

Crockpot Sloppy Joes, I mean is there more fall food! I love to use my crockpot when we are tailgating or having a quick easy dinner.  No need to have sloppy joes out of a can when you can make them in the crockpot easily.  (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

Now as a sports mom I have to make dinners that can be ready either before or after practice or for the girls to dish themselves while I am gone. Sloppy joes are one of those easy dinners but making them is easy enough to do instead of using store-bought or mixes.

Now my favorite part about ground beef dinners is I always have about 10-20lbs of pre-cooked ground beef in my freezer. (If you aren’t sure how to best do this, check out my post-> here that walks you through how to do it) This saves on prep-time and with the crockpot, I can drop it in frozen or quick defrost and drop it in.  

Crockpot Sloppy Joes Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 Lbs Ground Beef Cooked
• 2 16 Ounce Cans Tomato Sauce
• 1 Cup Ketchup 
• 5 Tbsp Brown Sugar
• 2 Tbsp Worchestershire Sauce
• 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Onion Powder 
• 2 Tsp Dijon Mustard
• 1 1/2 Tsp Smoked Paprika 
• Cheese
• Buns

How To Make Crockpot Sloppy Joes:

Start out by cooking your ground beef if you need to and drain to remove the grease.

Spray your crockpot with a nonstick spray or put it in a crockpot liner bag.  (If you didn’t know the liners are a thing for easy clean up grab some -> here on Amazon) (I also used a 4 Quart Crockpot to make mine in like this one -> here)

Dump everything into your crockpot.  You can change up the spices to the sloppy joes if you want, but because I was cooking mainly for the kids I opted to keep them semi-bland.  You could easily add in cayenne pepper or a hot sauce if you want a bit more of a kick to the sloppy joes.

Stir everything well and turn your crockpot on low. 

You can stir occasionally if you want to if not just allow it to cook on low for 4-6 hours. 

Serve and enjoy! 

You can store the leftovers in the fridge or freeze the leftovers into individual servings or a family batch for another time.
