You may think of sloppy Joes as a "kid" food but I still love to eat them and I serve them to my house on a regular basis. I recently held a picnic style convention at my house for my house and friends. I didn't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen so I have decided that I would use my crockpot and make my famous Large Crowd Pleasing Sloppy Joes. This recipe has been a popular at many covered dish events. It is so uncomplicated to prepare and it will serve 24 hungry diners.
Ingredients
Crockpot
3 pounds ground beef
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
3/4 cup celery
1 cup barbeque sauce
1 can (261/2 ounces) sloppy Joe sauce
24 hamburger buns
Directions
* Cook beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally until beef is brown.
* Drain.
* transfer beef compound to 31/2 to 6 quart crockpot.
* To beef mixture, add chopped celery, barbecue sauce, and sloppy joe sauce. Mix thoroughly.
* Cover and cook on low heat setting for 7 to 9 hours (or cook on high heat setting for 3 to 4 hours) or until vegetables are tender.
Quick Tips
1. Spray crockpot with cooking spray for easier cleaning.
2. Buy onions and celery already chopped.
3. Sloppy Joes will stay warm for about 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent compound from getting too brown colse to the edges.
You can serve any side dish with the sloppy Joes. To keep establishment uncomplicated I regularly serve potato chips.
This recipe only takes about 15 minutes to prepare but your guests will think that you spent all day in the kitchen. Be prepared for compliments!
