Homemade Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes aren’t just for kids! The homemade version of everyone’s childhood favorite is still quick, easy and economical but tastier than ever! With just a few simple ingredients you always have on hand, dinner is waiting in your crock pot!
Last night, we had one of our family favorite easy meals! These Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes are so much better than the canned manwiches you had as a kid! I am not a canned Manwich fan, even though my husband is. But we BOTH love these homemade Sloppy Joes. They taste amazing, of course, but the best thing about them, is I can brown the meat and then add everything to the slow cooker and head outside to play with the kiddos or run errands or whatever else I need to do! When we get ready to eat, our dinner is ready to go!
These Sloppy Joes are slightly adapted from The Pioneer Woman’s Sloppy Joe recipe and they are seriously a winner! This recipe makes a ton and we like to have the leftovers for quick weekend lunches, but feel free to cut it in half!

This sounds really yummy. I used to make sloppy joe's many years ago, my girls and grampy loved it then, but after a while I stopped making them. I bet my grandsons would love this now. Thanks for sharing.
I make a similar Sloppy Joe recipe as well. You can see it in my free recipe index on the blog. Now, what I love about these recipes is that we aren't out spending money on packets. It's dead easy to create meals like this at home. Using the slow cooker is an option I didn't mention in my recipe but you can easily do it as you mention. I look forward to trying it. Mr.CBB
