I did not read down in the instructions (oops) that this was a crockpot recipe. I already had the ingredients so after my meat cooked and all ingredients were in, I covered my skillet and cooked on high for a couple minutes to really get the peppers cooked down. Then I kept on medium heat for 8 minutes. They still turned out great without the crockpot!

My DH said rate this a 10 and I agree! I did make this on the stove instead but will make this again and double it in the crock pot. When making sloppy joes I always use a can of Manwich but will not be buying it again, this is so much better. I used ground sirloin and apple cider vinegar since that was all I had on hand. Perfect seasoning and wonderful fresh flavor. Thank you hon for posting your recipe! Made for the Australia/New Zealand Forum's Recipe Swap #25.

<p>I live on the Oregon Coast with husband and four boys. I am able to stay at home with them and hold down the fort. I have many cookbooks which I enjoy searching through for our family favorites. I recently started working as a home health care worker for seniors with disabilities (which I absolutely love), I love to quilt, crochet, bake, read, garden, watch the rain (which happens quite frequently here) and play with my kids. <br /><br />I am passionate about canning, canning, canning. I will admit I like admiring all the hard work after the jars are placed on the shelves. hehee I am all for if I can make it myself I will. Yes...I am frugal. I also love to bake. Especially homemade bread. I will continue to do so until arthritis takes over my hands. Then I will use more of the mixer for the kneading part. <br />All recipes I post are ones I've made and are our famiy favorites. <br /><br />I love pretty flowers. These flowers grace our yard every year. I could watch them all day long and be perfectly content! <br /><a href=http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/?action=view?t=2008flowers008.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/2008flowers008.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
