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!
