Crockpot sloppy joes are the perfect easy weeknight dinner! Mix in your ingredients, let everything simmer and serve with your favorite bun.
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup finely minced onion
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tsp yellow mustard
- hot dog or hamburger buns
- butter
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet. Drain off most of the fat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until onions are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
In the crock pot, combine all remaining ingredients except buns and butter. Add the ground beef mixture and stir to combine. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
When beef is ready to serve, butter buns. Broil until tops are golden brown, about 1 minute.
Spoon the ground beef onto the buns and serve. Enjoy!
