This recipe came about one day I wanted to make Sloppy Joes but I wanted to decrease the amount of tomatoes used…I do not know if this happens to you BUT when I have too many tomatoes my poor tummy is not a happy camper. So the Budget Savvy Diva’s Not So Sloppy Joes came into being :) Enjoy! This recipe can easily be made gluten – free by using gluten free bread ;) This meal is PERFECT for picky eaters… Feel free to throw in some extra veggies like green peppers.

What You Need

Hamburger Buns

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

1 Teaspoon Pepper

1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

1 Teaspoon Onion Powder

1 Pound of Ground Beef

1/4 Cup of Ketchup

1/6 Cup of Yellow Mustard

1 Cup of Diced Onions

1 Garlic Clove Minced

1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil

What To Do

REMEMBER TO TURN ON YOUR CROCKPOT TO Low :) You do not want to check on your meal 3 hours later just to figure out that you forgot to turn it on — not like that happened to me or anything *cough*

That sounds good … I have a similiar recipe where you use ketchup and bbq sauce along with the other spices used in this recipe … I never tried adding mustard or brown sugar … will have to try it out :)

We don’t like
Ours that sweet… So we also added chili powder. Thanks for this recipe… I have always just bought the canned stuff. I will do this more often. Tastes better and I have all of this stuff on hand!
