Simple Sloppy Joes

Fall is here..... well, kind of!
On this 78ยบ degree day, it is hard to believe it is really fall.
I find that the beginning of the school year is such a crazy time for my family.  I also find that if I don't have a plan for supper, we don't eat very well at all - we end up eating junk.

Crockpot cooking is a life saver and time saver.  Here is an easy sloppy joe recipe to toss in your crockpot for a quick fall meal.

Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef, browned and drained
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1- 8 oz can tomato sauce
1- 6 oz can tomato paste
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Place ingredients in the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.  Serve on your favorite buns with pickles and your favorite sides.  We like broccoli for one of our sides.

Enjoy!
