Crock Pot Sloppy Joes

These sloppy joes are unique as far as sloppy joes go. The flavor is a little different than normal sloppy joes, much much better if you ask me. They are a little more sweet and slightly tangy. They are very addicting! I could just eat the mixture one it's own by the spoonful!! Because they are a little different I found that they go great on baked potatoes, and make delicious meatier nachos! This recipe makes a lot so you can use it for leftovers, once on bread, once on baked potatoes, and then nachos!
Crock pot Sloppy Joes
Ingredients
3 pounds uncooked ground turkey or uncooked ground chicken
4 8oz cans tomato sauce
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
2 teaspoons dried parsley leaves
6 teaspoons dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 teaspoon evaporated cane juice
2 cans diced tomatoes with garlic and onions
2 cups (yellow, green, red) sweet peppers chopped small
Directions
In a skillet over medium-high heat; cook ground turkey or chicken until no longer pink, stirring to break apart. In a 3 1/2 or 4 quart slow cooker add tomato sauce, basil, parsley, onion, oregano, garlic, salt, evaporated cane juice and stir. Then add diced tomatoes, and peppers. Add cooked chicken or turkey and stir well. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8-9 hours. Serve on whole wheat bread or buns with mozzarella, provolone, or Cheddar cheese.
