Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes (for adults and kids!)

Prep: 15 minutes  Cook: 6-8 hours

This is a recipe with so many opportunities, just off the top of my head I can think of three tasty treats; of course the All-American Sloppy Joe, a stuffed baked potato with all of your favorite toppings, or spoon over tortilla chips to make some unbelievable nachos.

Ingredients
3 pounds ground turkey or beef
1 large white onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 ½ medium stalks of celery, chopped (about 1 ½ cups)
1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
1 can Sloppy Joe sauce
12 hamburger buns

The process

1. Cook turkey or beef and onion in a frying pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally until all of the meat is no longer pink.

2. Pour the meat and onion mixture into your slow cooker and add celery, barbecue sauce, and sloppy joe sauce. Mix together.

3. Cover and cook on a low heat setting 6-8 hours; or if you are in a rush cook on a high setting for 3-4 hours) until the vegetables are tender.

4. Uncover and cook on high heat setting until desired consistency. Stir well before serving. Fill your buns, baked potato, or top some tortilla chips and pair it with some veggie sticks and chips. Enjoy!
