- Next, add the beef into your crock pot, then stir in the cheese, onions, bacon, and salt and pepper.
- Cook on low setting for 5-6 hours, or on high for 2 hours (stir every once in a while).

Crock Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Sloppy Joes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 small package 8 ounces velveeta (or similar product), cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 cup cooked bacon crumbles
- salt and pepper to taste
- 6 sandwich buns
- Lettuce tomato, sliced cheese, and pickles as garnish (optional)
Equipment
Instructions
- Cook beef and garlic over medium/high heat in a 12 inch skillet, approximately 8-10 minutes. It will continue to cook in the slow cooker, so it's okay to cook it medium/medium well instead of all the way well done. Crumble the beef while you cook to your liking. Drain the skillet of the oil.
- Add the cooked beef to a non-stick sprayed slow cooker. Add in the cubed cheese, onion, bacon crumbles, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine as much as possible.
- Cook on low for 5-6 hours, or on high for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- When ready to serve, fill buns with the beef mixture and top with desired garnishes.
- Enjoy!

I made this for my family and we loved it! I added some finely cut bell peppers to the mix which gave it a burst of flavor. We determined as good as this was as a sloppy joe, it would be amazing as a dip for game days! Highly recommend!
Ooh, I love the dip idea!
Why Velveeta? Can’t you just use real cheese?
If you don’t like velveeta, use the cheese of your preference!
Sooo looking forward to this! I’m making it for crook pot friends at work!
You will be the best coworker after! Thanks for stopping by, James!
Thank you so much for this recipe! It was a hit for my family! I think it would be great for parties too!????Delicious!
Thanks, Laura!
my family loved this recipe
Thanks, Cheryl!
Just came across this recipe and it looks delicious! Definitely going to attempt this. What can I substitute the Velveeta for as it isn’t available in the UK? Thanks
I am planning on making this myself, and I am not a fan of Velveeta, so I am going to use Kraft singles American processed cheese. Any processed cheese will melt really well and not separate.
What an awesome idea. I would be a huge hero if I made this for my kids.
This recipe looks and sounds delicious!
Oh my god – this Looks sooo delicious! :O
Can’t wait to try this out. I cook for the guys when they at in the field and it is that time of year again. Always looking for something different to fix for them as they put in their long days.
