Can I double this recipe for a crowd?

Of course, just ensure your slow cooker is big enough. I once tried it in a smaller one, and let’s just say dinner was… delayed!

Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Absolutely! Ground turkey makes for lighter Sloppy Joes, plus it’s a fantastic option for those looking for something a bit healthier.

Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can also freeze them for future lazy days.

A comforting and convenient dinner option that brings family together with every messy bite of savory goodness.

Brown the beef. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks for 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the onion. Toss in the chopped onion with the browned beef and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until tender.
Mix in your other ingredients. In the slow cooker, combine the beef and onion with the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and salt and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
Cook low and slow. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for about 240-300 minutes or high for 120-180 minutes.
Serve it up. Once ready, heap the meaty goodness onto the hamburger buns and let everyone assemble their Sloppy Joe masterpiece.

Leftovers taste even better the next day! You can freeze extras for those lazy dinner nights.
