Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb. extra lean ground beef
  • 1 lb. sausage meat I used mild Italian
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 213 ml. 7 oz. tomato sauce
  • 16 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. yellow mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup flour with 1/4 cup water
  • 8 hamburg buns
  • Cheddar cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • In a large saute pan over medium-high heat add the beef, sausage, onion and green pepper. Cook until the meat until browned. Drain if necessary and then add the 1/2 cup water to scrape up any caramelized bits in the pan while stirring and let evaporate.
  • Add this mixture to your slow cooker. Add the rest of the ingredients except the flour and stir well. Cover and cook slowly on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours.
  • About 20 min. prior to finishing mix the flour with warm water and whisk into the sloppy joes. Turn to high and let bubble and thicken.
  • Place a large spoonful on the bottom of a hamburg bun. Top with cheddar cheese and run quickly under a broiler. Top with the other bun and serve.
