We recently tried these Homemade Sloppy Joes from Crock Pot’s 365 Year-Round Recipes and I totally fell in love with them. I really love the flavor of this recipe. I did alter the cooking time which I think is key to really getting the most flavorful result.

Notes on Homemade Sloppy Joes (Slow Cooker)

• We used our Ninja to cook up this recipe to keep the cooking all to one pot.
• The original recipe in Crock Pot’s 365 Year-Round Recipes called for the dish to cook on low for 6-8 hours, however we found it to be perfect after 3-4 hours on low and overcooked (and less flavorful) after 6 hours.
• This recipe freezes well.
• As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
