Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes <\/strong>are made with ground beef and a juicy, savory tomato-based sauce. They’re super easy to make in a slow cooker! <\/em><\/p>\n We love a good homemade sloppy joe<\/a> with chips and Caramelized Onion Dip<\/a>, or a cool and creamy Instant Pot Potato Salad<\/a>. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n These super easy sloppy joes are one of the BEST summer dinners! No need to heat up the house with the oven!<\/p>\n The best thing about sloppy joes is that they’re so quick to put together, and the sauce is really easy to make. <\/p>\n The ground beef and onion go into a frying pan for a quick fry with the spices and then into the slow cooker it goes with the sauce!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here are the ingredients you need for homemade sloppy joe sauce. As always, you can always find the measurements in the recipe card below. <\/p>\n COOK GROUND BEEF<\/strong> in a large frying pan over medium heat, stirring to break it into small chunks. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Add in diced onion and saut\u00e9 for another 2-3 minutes until onions are soft. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ADD SEASONING<\/strong> after the ground beef and onion are cooked, you may need to drain any excess grease from the ground beef before stirring in the seasonings. <\/p>\n PRO TIP<\/strong>: Don’t pour grease down the sink! Make a tinfoil cup and pour the excess grease into it for easy cleanup that won’t clog your plumbing. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n TRANSFER TO SLOW COOKER<\/strong> and add tomato sauce, vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 4-5 hours.<\/p>\n This cooks the spices and flavors into the sloppy joe sauce to make it extra delicious, and the beef becomes super tender! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ASSEMBLE SLOPPY JOES<\/strong> by placing a slice of cheddar cheese inside the hamburger bun, then spooning the filling onto the bun. <\/p>\n Hamburgers<\/span> are traditionally a sandwich made with ground meat and dry seasonings, which is then shaped into round patties and fried or grilled. <\/p>\n Sloppy Joes<\/span> are a sandwich also made with ground meat (usually beef)<\/em>, but then cooked with a tomato-based sauce and other spices. <\/p>\n Both are traditionally served on a hamburger bun.<\/p>\n It’s so easy to customize sloppy joes! <\/p>\n Yes, you can make these sloppy joes ahead of time. Follow the recipe as directed (without buns or cheese)<\/em>, cool, then freeze the sauce<\/strong> in an airtight container for up to 3 months<\/strong> before thawing, heating, and serving. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Need more ideas for dinner using ground beef?
