Tips:

  • Don't overcrowd the crock pot. If you are using a smaller crock pot, you may need to cook the meat in batches.
  • Brown the meat before adding it to the crock pot. This will help to seal in the juices and flavor.
  • Use a variety of bell peppers. Green, red, and yellow bell peppers will add different flavors and colors to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings. Paprika, chili powder, and garlic powder are all great additions to sloppy joes.
  • Let the sloppy joes cook on low for at least 6 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve sloppy joes on hamburger buns with your favorite toppings. Classic toppings include coleslaw, french fries, and onion rings.

Conclusion:

Classic crock pot sloppy joes are a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover ground beef. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a hearty and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
