Slow Cooker SLoppy Joes

Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes are a grown up version of your childhood favorite.

Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes are a sweet and tangy grown up version of a childhood favorite!

Do you have certain childhood food memories?  Certain foods that remind you of growing up and dinner time as a kid?  Sloppy Joes is one of those for me.  

My mom’s version included hamburger and the sloppy joe seasoning mix from the store that comes in the little envelope.  But my slow cooker sloppy joe recipe is a bit more sophisticated.  But it still has that familiar sloppy joe tang.  I think you will love it and I think your kids will love it too.

Instead of hamburger I used a chuck roast and I cooked it in the slow cooker.  And I added in a few carrots and green peppers which gives the sloppy joe some extra flavor and texture. 

In addition to the traditional ketchup I add in a can of tomato paste to thicken the mixture up a bit. The sweetness of the sloppy joe comes from some brown sugar and the tang from worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard and some apple cider vinegar.

    Didn’t have tomato sauce so substituted my wife’s homemade spaghetti sauce. Thickened with a tbsp of tomato paste and it turned out excellent! Will be making this plenty more times. Thanks Leigh Anne.
