Sloppy Joes are a well-loved American family dinner, and this slow cooker version requires minimal prep time but delivers the same delicious results. Brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and cumin provide the sweet and salty mix in the sauce that these sandwiches are known for, but we’ve paired it with lean ground beef for a healthier take. To dress-up your Joes, top each sandwich with a handful of shredded carrot or lettuce or a sprinkling of pickled jalapeños—or set them all out and let each family member decide. You can also serve the sloppy Joe mixture on top of a baked potato.
