A delightful twist on the classic Sloppy Joes, made with a rich and flavorful sauce.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned.
Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small crumbles for even cooking.
Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and chopped celery to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Cook the vegetables until they release their aroma and become tender.
Transfer the cooked meat and vegetables to the slow cooker.
Ensure the slow cooker is preheated for even cooking.
In a bowl, mix together the ketchup, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and brown sugar.
Adjust the seasoning to taste before adding to the slow cooker.
Pour the sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables in the slow cooker and stir to combine.
Ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
Stir occasionally if possible to ensure even cooking.
Serve the Sloppy Joes on toasted buns and enjoy.
Garnish with pickles or shredded cheese for added flavor.
