CROCK POT SLOPPY JOES FOR A CROWD



Crock Pot Sloppy Joes for a Crowd image

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!
