Crock-Pot Sloppy Joes
Sloppy Joes are a kids favorite meal in the slow cooker. They are easy to make and turn out great. Top with some pickles, lettuce or whatever else you like and enjoy!
There are many recipes for sloppy joes on the internet. You can find some that only have a couple ingredients to ones that have many ingredients. Each brings their own flavor to the table. It all depends on what you personally like and what your family loves.
My kids enjoyed this recipe. They love sloppy joes. We have tried the canned mixed options and while they are good, I like to make my own versions and know what exactly is in the meal.
I like the added sausage to this recipe. A good sweet pork sausage always brings a good flavor to the right meal.
Toast the buns with a little butter. I like my buns more crisp then soggy.
