Notes

Slow Cooker Size: 4-quart
Recipe Variations & Substitutions:
  • You can substitute the white onion for a yellow onion if you want to add a little extra sweetness to your sloppy joes.
Serving Suggestions:
  • Toast your hamburger buns lightly for extra texture contrast. Brioche buns or potato rolls take this comfort food to the next level!
  • Classic sides include coleslaw, potato chips, baked beans, or crispy sweet potato fries.
  • For healthier options, try roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
Storing & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat single servings in the microwave for about a minute, or reheat larger portions on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Make Ahead Options:
  • You can double or triple this recipe and freeze the extra in meal-sized portions for other busy nights when you need a quick dinner. It would also make a super easy lunch!
  • Ground beef can be browned in bulk during a meal prep session and stored in 2-pound portions to toss into the crock-pot for this recipe. Talk about quick prep!
