UPSCALE SLOPPY JOES
2 pounds lean beef chuck roast (trim any large fatty areas)
1 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup chopped celery
2/3 cup green pepper
2/3 cup ketchup
½ cup water
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon red pepper sauce
1½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon mustard powder
Brown the beef chuck roast in a frying pan, then place in a slow cooker. In the same frying pan, saute the vegetables until the onions are almost transparent. Put the vegetables in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients and pour over the meat and veggies. Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 8 hours. It isn't necessary, but I turn the meat over a couple of times during cooking and spoon the sauce over the meat.
Thirty minutes (or so) before serving, thicken the sauce with a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water. Cut the beef into sandwich slices (or just pull it apart) and top with some of the
sauce. OH SO GOOD!!
NOTE: This would even be delicious over rice.
NOTE: My slow cooker took only 4 hours on high to make the meat extremely tender, but still slice-able. If you like your beef more like pulled pork, cook it on high for 5 hours.

My, my, my, how I wish I had some for dinner tonight. Thanks again for another great recipe.
Yummm... we love Sloppy Joes! Great idea!
My husband usually turns his nose up at Sloppy Joes. But, if it was made with chuck roast...I think it might change his tune. Thanks for sharing!
Coleen this is brilliant!
This is exactly the type of dish my husband loves! Another keeper recipe...thanks Coleen. Oh, I made your cherry coffee cake and it was delicious! I never baked using those cherries before and they were wonderful in the cake.
oh this looks and sounds fantastic! i love a good SJ!
Colleen,
Yes, you can absolutely use shrimp. You might want to do a search on my blog for shrimp bisque which is very similar to this crawfish soup. We love that as well. I've always wanted to visit Alaska...I've seen so many beautiful photos, etc. Where are you located? Thanks for linking up and commenting.
it is in my slow cooker right now, and smelling so good :)
we have a family gathering for supper and i wanted to do something that was easy and tasty. i am sure we won't be disappointed.
Oh, I have a small roast that now I know how to cook it. I wanted you to know that today we had for dessert your banana cream pie -and it disapeared in a NY minute. My family and I thank you for the wonderful recipes.

just wanted to come back to tell you my family and guests really enjoyed it, and there is a bit left over, so over rice it goes just like you suggested.
i served along with a baked potato bar, buns and coleslaw....delish
Dear Coleen, This was absolutely delicious. My husband loved it too. I am sending it on to my daughter. Thank you for all the delicious recipes and photos.
