Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef

- 15 ounces Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease and transfer the cooked beef to the crock pot.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the onion and garlic to the crock pot.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Step 4
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and onions in the crock pot. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
Step 5
Cover the crock pot with the lid, set it to low, and cook for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving.
Step 7
Toast hamburger buns and spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves. Top with the other half of the bun and serve hot.
