So my family isn’t huge Sloppy Joe fans, which is a bummer because it is a super quick and easy meal to make. Sometimes quick and easy is all I have time for. 

So I came upon this recipe from a special interest Betty Crocker publication. I tweaked it to our liking and every family member ate it up. 

Plus the best part is it can be made in a crockpot. Fall and winter just seems to be the time when my crockpot is on overload.

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup of chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon of basil
  • Jarred pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup of chopped pepperoni (more or less depending on taste)
  • rolls – I make homemade ones

Instructions:

1. Put uncooked ground beef and onion in the crockpot on high for 2 hours. 

I used my Pampered Chef chopper tool to ground up the beef while it is cooking.

2.  After ground beef is cooked through, add a jar of pizza sauce, some pepperonis cut in 4ths (I cut about 25 pepperonis) 1/4 teaspoon of oregano, and a 1/2 teaspoon of basil.

It is not often I share a recipe on here.  So you know when I do it is a good one.  I am obsessed with BASIL.  Ever since growing it last year for the first time, I devour it any chance I get.  In fact, on my 35th birthday last year, my hubby was talking to my son about what they should get me for the big day.  My son replied “I don’t know but it must have basil in it, she LOVES BASIL.”  It’s true!  While most green leafy things turn me off I give anything with BASIL a chance.

  4. Another twist you can put on this, something I do with regular sloppy Joes. Take a can of Pillsbury grands biscuits. Flatten each one out. Put a large spoonful of sloppy joe mixture and a pinch of mozzarella cheese in each one. Fold in half and pinch edges to seal. Bake according to biscuit instructions. Delicious! And no mess 🙂
