We used our browning slow cooker since we needed to brown the ground beef, but feel free to use any 6 quart slow cooker and just brown in the skillet ahead of time.
Choosing a ground beef with less fat will reduce the amount of draining you have to do after the browning step. These Crock Pot Sloppy Joe Cheeseburgers pack the flavor and don't need the added fat unless that is your preference.
I have edited the recipe to say that the water is optional because we have forgotten it from time to time and it still comes out yummy.

As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
