Notes
Pro Tip: Don't skip browning the ground beef first! This step adds so much more depth of flavor than just throwing raw meat into the slow cooker. Also, stirring half way through helps prevent the sauce from sticking and ensures even cooking. This is a great way to get that perfect sloppy joe meat texture every time.
