Sloppy Joe's

So a friend of mine was making sloppy joes a while back for her kids and I've been craving them ever since. I wanted to try making my own sauce and leave it in the crockpot so the boys can eat when they have a chance.....soccer season.....Anyway, here is the recipe I used.

1 lb ground sirloin
1 lb ground turkey breast

Saute that in a pan until cooked through and crumbly.

Meanwhile in a crockpot mix together the following:

1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup bbq sauce
3-4 tablespoons water
3 tablespoon brown sugar
3 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt

stir all that together and add cooked meat, leave on lowest setting with lid on crockpot to let the sauce get all yummy and enjoy!

BTW.....I called French's to inquire about their Worcestershire sauce and was told that the sauce and all their mustards are gluten free. Just so ya know!

Personally I would have liked to add onion and peppers to the meat while saute-ing BUT then certain boys wouldn't eat it if there were chunks in it....so plain it is. I think I will cook up some veggies on the side and stir it into mine and whichever boys decide they want some too.
