Last week, Mr.Jacobs was my guest “Crocker,” kicking off the new year with a low-cal healthy recipe. I must point out that he has lost 110 pounds in the last year, in large part to the healthy and delicious recipes I whipped up in my crock pot for us. So proud of him! So, if your New Year’s resolution is to get healthier, have your slow cooker help you!
Another New Year resolution that many make, is to save some money, and groceries are a good chunk of everybody’s budget. Slow cookers can help you stretch your pennies, too! So, this week’s recipe helps with that resolution, Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe’s! This recipe is made with ground beef, and was honestly REALLY good! Better than I was expecting it to be. Depending on how lean your beef is, this recipe costs about $10 total to feed your whole family, and that includes the buns to serve it on. Now, I realize this isn’t an “authentic” Philly Cheesesteak, but get over that. It tastes darn delicious anyway!
Crock Pot Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 large onion, slivered
- 1 large green pepper, sliced
- 1-1/2 cups sliced mushrooms (optional…I didn’t use)
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 can condensed french onion soup (or beef broth)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella or provolone (or a combination of both)
Brown the beef in a pan with the garlic. Don’t break it up too much, you want some good sized chunks. Drain fat and place into slow cooker with onion, green pepper, and mushrooms (if using). Toss with the flour and black pepper. Pour soup and Worcestershire sauce over the mixture and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Sprinkle the cheese on top and replace the lid for a few minutes to let it melt. Serve on buns/rolls. I think it would be tasty over pasta or rice, too!
