- 1 pound ground beef

- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, diced onion, and bell pepper over medium heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the beef is no longer pink and the onions and peppers are soft.
- Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute.
- Transfer meat and vegetable mixture to the crockpot. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
- Add ketchup, apple cider vinegar, mustard, tomato paste, water, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine the ingredients.
- Cover with a lid and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours.
- Stir the sloppy joe mixture and pile onto hamburger buns. Top with a slice of cheese if desired.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Use toasted hamburger buns - add butter and rub with garlic cloves for extra flavor on the buns. Toasted buns hold up better to the “sloppiness” of sloppy joes!
