Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 15 ounces Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Hamburger buns
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease and transfer the cooked beef to the crock pot.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the onion and garlic to the crock pot.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and onions in the crock pot. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
Cover the crock pot with the lid, set it to low, and cook for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving.
Toast hamburger buns and spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves. Top with the other half of the bun and serve hot.
