Crock Pot Sloppy Joe Casserole

Well goodness, that recipe title is a mouthful, huh? I really should have come up with a snazzier name. If y’all have a good idea for one, let me know. But really, the name doesn’t matter all that much. The taste does, right? I was so thrilled with how this came out. It’s a very simple recipe but it is a fun and new way to eat your meat and potatoes. It ain’t the prettiest meal you ever saw but it sure does taste good!plated, slow cooker sloppy joe casserole with vegetables

With this recipe, we are definitely thinking outside of the bun. Feel free to add in any other veggies or seasoning that you enjoy. Green peppers or red peppers would be great in this!

      Hi Megan, you sure could. I think the flavors get better the longer it hangs out and slowly cooks. But if you absolutely have to do it faster, just cut the time in half. 🙂
