I have always LOVED sloppy joes. It was one of my favorite meals as a child. I absolutely loved it. So when I was trying to come up with a new recipe for some ground beef in the fridge (that I needed to use up), I thought about what my usual go-to for ground beef was… Sloppy Joes!
So then I started thinking about how to take our favorite sandwich and turn it into a yummy casserole with chunky carrots, baby potatoes, celery and plenty of cheese and Crock Pot Sloppy Joe Casserole was born!

Sloppy Joe Casserole Notes

- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

Hi Toni-
We used baby potatoes so we didn’t cut them up, but if you use larger potatoes I would cut them up into bite-sized pieces. Hope that helps! Enjoy!!

This made me think of my mother, she made the best Sloppy Joe sandwiches! We topped it with her delicious homemade cole slaw. Thanks for bringing up this memory! I know I would enjoy this casserole!
