could I use ground beef with this recipe?
Ground beef works great in this recipe!
Just follow the same instructions, making sure to fully cook the ground beef in the skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
For this recipe, I would recommend a leaner ground beef – the sauce doesn’t stick as well to the meat when it’s a fattier percentage because of the additional grease.

My mom used to make a recipe almost exactly like this with the addition of a can of pork 'n beans, of all things. We called them bean burgers which doesn't sound all that appetizing, but believe me, they taste so delish!
You guys are terrif!

I love sloppy joes because they remind me so much of my childhood. My mom use to make the sauce from scratch but since my child hates them, I got away from making them. I can't wait to try your recipe. I love your blog, it's one of my favorites!
Thank you so much for the recipe! I'll definite spread the word, and get it out there!
