Crock Pot Sloppy Joes for a Crowd
"I made these for a potluck at work and they were a definite hit! One thing I didn't put in the recipe: instead of using 1 bell pepper, I usually use 1/2 cup of tri-pepper mix. It's just red, yellow and green bell peppers, already diced. Publix sells it in their produce section. It's a real time saver!"

Although I am not particularily fond of "red sauce" BBQ's when I saw this recipe I had to try! and I did... I went out on a limb and made this for my husband's surprise 50th Birthday Party.. I figured the recipe for 60.. then doubled a single recipe x2 if that makes sense. It was delicious and even better a day later... I didn't use the nutmeg and I was short on tomato sauce but will even cut back on liquid somehow next time...as It was a little runnier than I like... With that being said... 5 STARS!! EXCELLENT and thank you very much for posting! -
It was a definite crowd pleaser. The perfect mix of flavor.

Great! I omitted the brown sugar and they were still perfect! I used cider vinegar - maybe that added a little sweetness to compensate for no sugar?? -
I made this recipe for a potluck. I had staff and clients join. Everyone loved it! What a great recipe. I will be giving my Mom this recipe to feed a bunch of hungry hunters at hunting camp this fall! Wonderful!
