Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb hamburger meat Can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
  • 1 15 oz can Sloppy Joe sauce (like Manwich)
  • 4 pieces hamburger buns Best served in soft, toasted buns.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the hamburger meat into the crockpot.
  2. Pour the entire can of Sloppy Joe sauce over the meat.
  3. Using a large spoon or spatula, break up the meat and mix it thoroughly with the sauce.
Cooking
  1. Cover with the lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours. For longer cooking, set the crockpot to its lowest setting for up to 10 hours.
  2. Optionally, stir the meat halfway through cooking to ensure it cooks evenly.
  3. Once the meat is fully cooked and tender, scoop the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the hamburger buns.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Brown the meat before adding it to enhance flavor and reduce grease. Customize with chopped vegetables or spicy elements for extra flavor.
