Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and sauté the onions. When the meat is just about done and the onions are tender, add in the garlic and cook for a minute longer. Drain excess fat from the meat and transfer the meat to your slow cooker.

Step 2

In a large bowl combine garlic powder, salt, and black pepper with 1/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, 1 cup ketchup, and 3/4 cup BBQ sauce. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Pour the sauce over the ground beef and stir.

Step 4

Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.

Step 5

Shortly before serving, toast the buns if you wish. Spoon the meat on each sandwich, top with cheese if desired and serve.
