Bacon Cheeseburger Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes have never been better with this slow cooked version with lots of cheese and bacon!

I have found more and more that I am beginning to be okay with Velveeta cheese as long as it's not pure Velveeta. In this recipe, it goes in with garlic and beef and bacon into a slow cooker. I admit I still usually add a couple dabs of hot sauce to cut through that artificial flavor a bit. I loved sloppy joes as a child, so I really appreciate this recipe because it's a sloppy joe, but it tastes like a bacon cheeseburger. It's like an adult sloppy joe if that was a thing!? :)

What you need:

• 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
• 1 Tbsp. minced garlic cloves
• 8 oz. Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1 pkg. bacon bits
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 6 hamburger buns
• Lettuce
• Sliced tomatoes
• Pickles
  

Directions:

1. Cook ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and crumbled. Add garlic in the last little bit of cooking so it doesn't burn. Drain, if needed.
2. Add ground beef to a slow cooker that has been greased with nonstick spray.
3. Add Velveeta, onion, bacon, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
4. Cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 2 hours. Stir occasionally, if possible. Stir well before serving.
   
5. Serve hamburger buns topped with lettuce, tomato, and pickles and a good scoop of the beef mixture.

Another great slow cooker beef sandwich recipe is this Slow Cooker Shredded BBQ Beef one that has an insanely delicious spice rub slow cooked into it before it even touches the barbecue sauce! I love Karen's Kitchen Stories' Asian Style Sloppy Joes. They were the first recipe we ate in our new home back in April. So much flavor!
