Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef and onion together until beef is cooked, breaking up beef with a spatula. Drain off fat and transfer to a slow cooker. Or just use a multi-cooker - brown the beef and onion right in the cooker, and drain off fat.
  2. Add all remaining ingredients to slow cooker and stir well. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. The longer cook time will give a deeper flavor.

Notes

  • To serve: Serve sloppy joes on soft buns - I like to offer regular size buns and smaller dinner roll size buns. Pickles are a must - dill pickle spears or chips, refrigerator sweet pickles, and pickled red onions are all great choices. And we always include some thick ripple potato chips - I personally like to eat sloppy joes without buns, using sturdy potato chips as my "scoops"!
  • Calories do not include buns, chips, or condiments.
