How to Make Taco Sloppy Joes in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
This Crock Pot Taco Sloppy Joes recipe is so incredibly simple to make. It took approximately eight minutes for my micro cooker to cook my ground beef. While my ground beef was cooking, I put all my other ingredients (minus the buns and toppings) in the crock pot and stirred them until they were combined really well. That way, when my ground beef was ready to go, I could stir it in, pop the lid on the crock pot and let it do the work. This is a seriously tasty and easy to make recipe.
