Today, we are making sloppy joes in the slow cooker.  Now I know you might be thinking, is it really necessary to make sloppy joes in a crock pot? The answer is yes – it is perfect for a night when you want dinner ready. You can have these slow cooker sloppy joes waiting for you when you walk in the door.  It is perfect for a day when you have some time in the afternoon, where you can throw this together, then you can take off for basketball practice, Christmas shopping, etc.

This works for me because I have frequent doctor’s appointments with my daughter in the late afternoon.  I try to get her an appointment so she can miss the least amount of school.  I can throw this together and head off to the doctor.  Then, when we get home, I have a nice hot dinner already to go.

This recipe is very similar to my mom’s sloppy joe recipe.  It also makes enough for two meals for my family, so I freeze what we have left for another night.  Then I just thaw in the fridge and reheat.
