You don’t have to cook the hamburger before putting into the crock-pot. This recipe will make enough for roughly 10 sandwiches. And yes, you can double the recipe and FREEZE the leftovers!
Here’s what you’ll need:
*find the printable version of this recipe below.
2 LBS thawed lean ground beef
2 TBS minced garlic
2 TBS Worcestershire
1/2 C ketchup
2 TBS brown sugar
3/4 red or green pepper, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning (this stuff is so good!)
1 can tomato sauce
1 can sloppy joe sauce
*If you want completely homemade, simply omit the can of sloppy joe sauce and use the following instead:

Add ground beef into the crock pot and break up the beef. Add in the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the can of sloppy joe sauce (if you’re doing completely homemade, save 1 can of the tomato sauce). Give it a stir to combine well. Cook on medium for 6 – 8 hrs.
When ready to serve, drain the top liquid off. Either remove the crock-pot insert and pour out the extra liquid or use a large spoon and spoon it out. It’s important to remove as much liquid as possible so you have a nice thick sauce. Once the liquid has been removed add in the can of sloppy joe (or tomato sauce) and give it a stir! Serve on hamburger buns. Enjoy!

I love to use my slow cooker, especially in the summer months to keep from heating up my kitchen with the stove or oven. This recipe is perfect!
