Sloppy Joes are a true classic. A child’s favorite and a must in every home. This easy slow cooker sloppy Joe is my family’s favorite. It is my go-to recipe that I can prep in less than thirty minutes. All I need is to dump everything in my trusty slow cooker and set it to cook either on low or high. It’s perfect for busy weeknights as I can set it to cook without staying in the kitchen forever.

Sloppy Joes are made with ground beef, tomato sauce, brown sugar, and seasoning. A mixture of simple ingredients that combined to give you the best tasting sloppy Joes. Feel free to use ground turkey or a mix of ground beef and turkey. If you want a bit of heat, you can also add some chopped jalapenos. Serve this sloppy joe between buns, pizza topping, or on slider buns/bread rolls.

INGREDIENTS :

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2 tsp vegetable oil
16 oz. tomato sauce
1/2 c. ketchup

1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika

DIRECTIONS :
