Easy Slow Cooked Sloppy Joes

I found this through Recipezaar.com a few years ago, now I guess the site is down so I’m not sure about the name of it. You can do it in the slow cooker or stove top, it really doesn’t mater. I love the zing of taste that you can’t ever find in a tiny pouch mix. Such an easy one to do too, my kids never complain about it. We like to add peppers in there as well but you don’t have too, it’ll still taste great without them.

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 bottle (12 ounces) chili sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
8 buns

Optional*
One red and green pepper diced up
One diced up jalapeno pepper
Just toss them in the slow cooker if you want them in.

Directions
In a large skillet, cook the beef, celery and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker.
Stir in the chili sauce, brown sugar,  relish, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until flavors are combined. Spoon 1/2 cup beef mixture onto the buns.

Enjoy!!
