Crock Pot Italian Sloppy Joe

turkey sausage

onions

garlic (minced)

red bell pepper (chopped in 1/2-inch pieces)

yellow bell pepper (chopped in 1/2-inch pieces)

tomatoes (Tuttorosso)

rosemary

kosher salt and fresh black pepper (to taste)

Italian Bread (from 1 large loaf (2 oz each))

olive oil spray

Italian seasoning

tbsp grated cheese

garlic (cut

mozzarella cheese

In a medium non-stick skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat, breaking up as it cooks into small bits until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

Add onions and garlic, and cook another 2 minutes.

Transfer to the slow cooker and add the bell peppers, crushed tomatoes, rosemary and fresh cracked pepper.

Cover and cook on low 4 hours.

Prepare the garlic bread slices. Place 6 slices of the bread on a sheet pan, spray with olive oil, and sprinkle with Italian Seasoning and Parmesan on each side. Spritz with a little more oil and broil about 6 inches from the heating element, until the top of bread is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes keeping an eye on it. When toasted, remove from oven and rub a garlic clove over the bread.

Top each slice with 1/2 cup meat and add shredded mozzarella, about 2 1/2 tablespoons on each. Place back into the oven for about 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. 

This healthy Sloppy Joe recipe is family-friendly, made with ground sirloin beef and some minced veggies – great for those picky eaters!
