Ingredients
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
Sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Serving
- Buns for serving (6 to 8 buns)
Instructions
- Brown the beef and onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion together until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are softened. Drain any excess fat.
- Transfer to crockpot: Place the browned beef and onions in the crockpot. Add ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook slowly: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 4 hours. Stir occasionally if possible to ensure even cooking and flavor blending.
- Serve: Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto buns and serve warm.
Notes
- For a thicker consistency, leave the crockpot uncovered during the last 30 minutes of cooking to let some liquid evaporate.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Add diced green bell peppers or a splash of hot sauce for extra flavor and spice.
- Use whole wheat buns to increase fiber content and add nutrients.
- Brown sugar can be replaced with honey or maple syrup for a different sweet note.
