Chuck Roast Sloppy Joes-Slow Cooker Recipe

Our grilling plans were rained out so I decided to try these Chuck Roast Sloppy Joes using the slow cooker function of my ♥4 Qt Electronic Pressure Cooker♥. Loved that the slow cooker didn't heat up my kitchen:@) And yep, they are my Bread and Butter Jalapeno Pickles on top-Yum!

No doubt a chuck roast would be amazing but London Broil was already in the freezer... I've added the "thrifting" label to this post because my ShopRite puts London Broil on sale for $1.79/lb often. Now if you've tried it you know it can be tough, so it's a good candidate for low and slow (or pressure cooker) cooking. I even cut mine in half horizontally (if it was 1.5" think, I made it 3/4"). The only other change I made was to use 3 Tblsp dried onion instead of a fresh one, we prefer dried onion in the slow cooker.

I've made a few of Coleen's recipes and gotta say, this one's another keeper! 

Don't hesitate to make this Grown-Up Sloppy Joe folks, my sons and I loved it. 

 

Chuck Roast Sloppy Joes-from Coleen's Recipes
2 lbs lean chuck roast, trim any extra fatty areas
1 C onion, chopped-I used 3 Tblsp dried onion flakes
2/3 C celery, chopped
2/3 C green bell pepper, chopped
2/3 C ketchup
1/2 C water
2 Tblsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp hot sauce
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp mustard powder

1. Brown beef in frying pan and add to slow cooker.
2. In same pan cook veggies until onion is almost translucent. Add to slow cooker.
3. Mix everything else in a bowl and pour over meat/veggies.
4. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours-I used 8 hours.
5. About 30 minutes before it's done cooking add a slurry of 1 Tblsp corn starch mixed with 1 Tblsp water to thicken the sauce.
6. When meat is done either slice or shred (my preference) and return it to the sauce. 
7. Serve over buns and enjoy!

Happy 4th of July Everyone!
