It does say to cook 3 to 5 hours. I would think it would be safe to do it without pre-browning it.

You can brown it first if you like, but I've done it both ways and it's the same "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." -Philippians 4:11 🙏 I appreciate your friendship/support at: https://www.gofundme.com/sugars-transplant-journey -Sugar 😘 -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org> On Behalf Of meward1954--- via Cookinginthedark Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2020 12:05 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: meward1...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [CnD] CP sloppy joes About the sloppy joes: You mean you don't have to brown the hamburger first before putting it in the slow cooker? Never done that before. I guess I could put some hamburger buns in the toaster oven or even bake some potatoes and put it on them. I've even used pasta for this kind of thing. I was the kid who secretly liked chili mac in the school cafeteria. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org> On Behalf Of Sugar Lopez via Cookinginthedark Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2020 1:43 PM To: CND List <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org> Cc: Sugar Lopez <sugarsy...@sbcglobal.net> Subject: [CnD] CP sloppy joes CP sloppy joes Happy Tuesday, Slow Cookerers!! I hope you are enjoying your summer months. We certainly are ----- lots of vegging and relaxing and sleeping and eating. here is a fun twist on a classic sloppy joe recipe -- what's neat about this for entertaining is that you can mix up a huuuuuuuuuuuge batch beforehand -- so when your guests arrive you can enjoy them rather than manning the barbecue or fussing over something cooking on the stove. And I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any more American than sloppy joes!! Homemade Sloppy Joes serves 4 as is, can be quadrupled in 6-quart slow cooker 1 pound lean ground meat packet of sloppy joe mix (check for gluten, or use recipe below) 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste 1 cup of water or, use this: Homemade From Scratch Sloppy Joe Mix makes 1 packet: 1 tablespoon onion flakes 1 tablespoon paprika 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard -1/4 teaspoon celery seed 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper The Directions. Use a 4 quart slow cooker for 1 pound of meat, or a 6-quart for larger quantities. Mix the meat with the sloppy joe mix and the tomato paste. Add the cup of water, and stir well. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-5 hours. The meat is done when it is crumbly and fully cooked. Serve with hamburger buns, or on top of rice. The Verdict. These were delicious! The kids enjoyed the "ketchup meat" and liked that they were kind of messy. This is a super fun and memorable potluck or dish for entertaining. enjoy!! happy slow cooking! steph "If we could look into each other's hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care." 🙏 I appreciate your friendship/support at: https://www.gofundme.com/sugars-transplant-journey -Sugar 😘 _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
