Recipe Tips
- Browning the beef isn’t important, but if you do want less liquid at the end of cooking, then I highly recommend doing it. Also, by browning the meat and draining the excess fluid, you will have less fat in the final dish.
- Adding a 400g (14 oz) can of crushed tomatoes will add a lot more fluid to this dish. It's the perfect addition if you prefer your sloppy joes a bit wetter than what this recipe produces.
- If you prefer your food to be less on the sweet side, then simply leave the sugar out.
- You can change the slow cooking time for this dish to something a lot shorter. Even when set on low, this dish will be fine cooking for as short as two hours. However, the flavors might not fully develop in such a short time. Personally, I would avoid setting the slow cooker to the high temperature.
