THE BEST SLOPPY JOES
This is weeknight comfort food at its finest. We created a homemade sauce that is tangy and flavorful but also quick and easy. We used both ketchup and canned tomato sauce for lots of tomato-y zip and just a touch of brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and slight caramel finish. Green bell pepper is a key addition; it really enhances the other ingredients, elevating the flavor profile into the realm of a true sloppy joe.

CROCK POT SLOPPY JOES FOR A CROWD
I made these for a potluck at work and they were a definite hit! One thing I didn't put in the recipe: instead of using 1 bell pepper, I usually use 1/2 cup of tri-pepper mix. It's just red, yellow and green bell peppers, already diced. Publix sells it in their produce section. It's a real time saver!

Steps:
- Brown the hamburger with the onions, garlic and peppers until the meat is cooked and the onions are clear.
- Drain well (I just leave mine in the colander draining while I prepare the sauce).
- In the crock pot, whisk together all the remaining ingredients.
- Fold in the hamburger mixture. Stir to coat.
- Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
Tips:
- Prep Ahead: Save time by cooking the ground beef and sloppy joe sauce in advance. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use a Variety of Buns: Offer a selection of buns to accommodate different preferences. Hamburger buns, hoagie rolls, and slider buns are all great options.
- Top It Off: Elevate your sloppy joes with a variety of toppings. Shredded cheese, crispy bacon, sliced pickles, and diced onions are all classic choices. For a spicy kick, add pickled jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Keep It Warm: If you're serving your sloppy joes over a longer period, keep them warm in a slow cooker set to the "low" setting. This will prevent them from drying out and ensure they stay delicious.
- Make It a Party: Sloppy joes are perfect for a party or potluck. Double or triple the recipe to feed a larger crowd, and set up a toppings bar so your guests can customize their sandwiches.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you'll be able to easily prepare and serve a crowd-pleasing sloppy joe meal that everyone will love. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue, a casual get-together, or a potluck, these sloppy joes are sure to be a hit. So fire up the grill or stovetop, and let's get cooking!
