Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes
This is an easy recipe, brown the meat, and add that and all ingredients to a slow cooker for 4 to 6 hours, done. The time in the slow cooker lets the flavors blend, resulting in a better tasting meal, unlike cooking in a skillet. You can use ground beef, pork, or even chicken. I like Sloppy Joes, this is a must try for me. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef, OR minced pork, OR ground chicken
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
- 3/4 cup tomato ketchup, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef (or pork, or chicken) in a pan with a splash of olive oil, along with the onion and garlic, brown it, no need to cook it all the way through. Drain fat and put into the slow cooker pot.
- Add all other ingredients, mix well and cook on Low setting for 4-6 hours. Serve on toasted buns.
Notes
Ground beef will run about 75 Baht/500 grams, if using minced pork, that will cost about 60 Baht/500 grams, chicken even less. Everything else is minimal. For 4 servings this is 55 cents per serving, even less for 5-6 servings.
Variations, try 1/2 BBQ sauce and 1/2 ketchup. Added diced bell pepper.
Shortcut: Tomato Ketchup.
