My wife said that her mom would approve of these delicious slow cooker Sloppy Joes and that’s all I needed to know. That means they’re not only good, they’re great. I never got the opportunity to have her mom’s Sloppy Joes, but I know that her mom could cook like nobody’s business.  The perfect thickness and the perfect beefiness, you’ll definitely want seconds.

Makes A Big Batch. And That’s A Good Thing.

This recipe for delicious slow cooker Sloppy Joes makes a good-sized batch, but it’ll disappear quickly. You can also freeze any extra. I like having it on hand because it makes a for a great, fast lunch.

For a little kick add a few good pinches of red pepper flake or some big splashes of hot sauce.

I serve my delicious Sloppy Joes as simply as possible: on toasted hamburger buns, and always open-faced. When I was a little tyke, I would request that my mom get my hamburger buns extra toasty. I liked the contrast between the Sloppy Joe meat mixture and the super crunchy bread. I wasn’t a fan of Soggy Joes. That’s when the sauce has too much time to soak into the bread, getting it … ewww. I also prefer to serve my Sloppy Joes open-faced. You can get twice as much filling in that way. It’s not like I’m going to pick them up anyways!

Also try my Philly cheesesteak version.
