I have always LOVED sloppy joes. It was one of my favorite meals as a child. I absolutely loved it. So when I was trying to come up with a new recipe for some ground beef in the fridge (that I needed to use up), I thought about what my usual go-to for ground beef was… Sloppy Joes!

So then I started thinking about how to take our favorite sandwich and turn it into a yummy casserole with chunky carrots, baby potatoes, celery and plenty of cheese and Crock Pot Sloppy Joe Casserole was born!
