The sloppier the sandwich, the better it is. I’ve made chorizo Sloppy Joes, Sloppy Cubans, and kicked-up regular ole Sloppy Joes. All were sloppy. All were fantastic. These slow cooker Gumbo Joes pack in fantastic bayou flavors with traditional Sloppy Joe ingredients such as ketchup, mustard, and onion. Thick and messy. It’s gonna drip and it’s gonna make a mess. It’s gonna be great.

Slow Cooker Gumbo Joes

Gumbo-licious

This recipe for slow cooker Gumbo Joes is also a great way to use up leftover gumbo. I don’t usually have leftover gumbo. It seems to disappear very quickly around here. That’s why I had to use a few cans of gumbo instead. It’s surprisingly good on it’s own. But it’s fantastic in this great take on a Sloppy Joe.

Go Open-Faced

As much as I like to eat these sandwiches like… sandwiches, my preferred way is actually to enjoy them open-faced. I like to toast some hamburger buns until they get a bit crusty. With a bit of a crunch to them. Then I pile the meat mixture high and dig in!

You can also make this dish on the stovetop. Just bring it to a slow simmer and let it simmer for at least 4 hours, stirring often and checking if it gets too dry. If it does, just stir in a bit of water.
