These are EASY! And...so yummy! Jereld and I bought a book called "Fix-It and Forget-It: 5-Ingredient Favorites--Comforting Slow-Cooker Recipes." It's my new favorite book.
I'm so busy with work and paperwork for our house and stuff that I need easy recipes or it's frozen food for us. This recipe was extremely simple and so GOOD! It's a keeper!
Italian Sloppy Joes (the book calls it Italian Barbecue Sandwiches...I like my title better)
Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cooking time: 2-6 hours
Ideal slow cooker size: 3-qt.
(I doubled this and used my 5 qt. crock pot which could have held a lot more!)
1 lb. ground beef (browned in a non-stick skillet first...which by-the-way is the hardest part)
1 cup tomato sace
half an envelope dry spaghetti sauce mix
salt and pepper to taste
8 oz. Velveeta or American Cheese cubed (I used Velveeta)
1. As it says above, brown ground beef in a skillet first.
2. Place meat in slow cooker. Stir in sauce and seasonings.
3. Cover and cook on Low for 2-6 hours.
4. One hour before serving (I didn't give it an hour...I gave it 20 minutes and it was delicious!), stir in cheese. I cubed the Velveeta so it would melt quickly.
5. Stir before serving.
Obviously we ate this on hamburger buns...but you can use whatever bun or bread you choose.
