Crockpot Sloppy Joes
These homemade sloppy joes are truly the best version of a childhood favorite! And the best part? They are made in the crockpot so you can literally dump it and go–this is the perfect dinner for a busy night!

With school starting back up, I’ve really been making sure I have some recipes planned that the whole family will happily eat.
They have to be easy and something I can toss together in just minutes. Crockpot meals are such a great way to get a quick and easy meal on the table — and this sloppy joe recipe is one that the whole family will love! Comfort food at its finest.
I served these with brioche buns, but you can use any kind (or none at all) that you like. I highly recommend serving with mac & cheese or my low carb loaded mashed cauliflower.
