I just realised I made this awhile ago and forgot to post it to IMI!
Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes by ModelsMom
Here's what I posted to the recipe page last month:
I like the idea of using the slow cooker so we could work around the house and eat whenever we got hungry! Since the beef was already browned I didn't want to over-cook it, so after a couple hours I turned it to the keep warm setting. My newer crock pot cooks really hot and was boiling on low after two hours!
The only complaint I have is that it was rather dry, I needed to add a 1/4 cup of water. I'm guessing you need that if you're using the paste over tomato sauce. Perhaps that was just a mistake in the recipe and forgot to include the water?
I love that there is fresh peppers and celery in this, gives it another dimension of flavor and freshness! I bumped up a few more of the seasonings to taste as well. Overall a good recipe that I would make again with minor adjustments! :)

Thanks Ladies :)
I was just thinking of making this again soon. I like the idea of leaving it in the crockpot all day; the last thing you want to do while gardening all day is make dinner. I might try this with tomato sauce next time instead of the paste and water. I like them a little more sloppy, haha ;)
