And in honor of game days and team-decorated slow cookers, I’m sharing an amazing sloppy joe recipe! These sloppy joes are made extra delicious by using the Crock-Pot Slow Cooker. The ground beef and onion get browned in a dutch oven beforehand and then you dump those ingredients into the Crock-Pot Slow Cooker with the rest of the ingredients and let it simmer for a few hours. Cooking the meat for sloppy joes in the slow cooker makes for the most delicious, tender, and seasoned beef filling. The ingredients and flavors have so much time to meld making for an intensified delicious flavor. Sloppy joes are the perfect game day food and this is a great recipe to make if you’re hosting friends or family to watch the game. Prep time is minimal so even if you are hosting a “homegating” game day party you don’t have to stress! With a toasted buttered bun and deliciously tender meat filling you can’t go wrong with these sloppy joes. Enjoy!
