Sloppy Joes are always a family favorite, but buying the canned sauce just isn’t all that healthy. Try this recipe and you’ll find they’re much tastier and better for you. The slow cooker means you can just toss it all in earlier in the day and it’ll be ready when everyone is ready to sit down and eat.
