Take-out Tuesday, Slow Cooker Hawaiian Sloppy Joes
I am always looking for dinner recipes that will work for everyone
on busy weeknights when the boys have sports
When I saw Pineapple Sloppy Joes from my friend Pattie @ Olla-Podrida
I knew I found a winner
Sloppy Joes are made with ground beef and a tomato based sauce
and served on a hamburger bun
Because the meat is in the sauce,
they can be messy to eat, hence the name Sloppy Joes
The boys love hamburgers and spaghetti
so I figured they would like these sandwiches
and the addition of pineapple really takes them up a level
This is a super easy Slow Cooker recipe
Put the Hawaiian BBQ sauce* and tomato sauce into the slow cooker
*If you can’t find Hawaiian BBQ sauce in your store,
you can buy it on Amazon here and here and here
Mix in the Sloppy Joe seasoning packet
Then stir in the pineapple
Brown the ground beef, drain and add it to the sauce
Cook on low for 3 hours
Serve on toasted hamburger buns
I used burger sized Brioche buns, they are both sturdy and soft
Everybody loved them!
This recipe is adapted from Olla-Podrida, thanks Pattie!
