Sloppy Joes are one of those easy and kid friendly meals that everyone ate as a kid, but when I started saving ideas for Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes I discovered there are some pretty adult versions of good Sloppy Joes out there as well.  Here are some different recipes for Sloppy Joes, probably enough to get you through a summer of Sloppy Joe suppers!

Let's start with Minnesota Sloppy Joes from Kitchen Parade, shown in the top photo above.  This recipe sounds like the classic Sloppy Joes I remember from childhood, and Alanna says it's a family recipe.

Sloppy Joe's don't have to contain meat, and one of the tastiest looking Sloppy Joes I came across was these Vegetarian Sloppy Joes from The Healthy Beehive.  The recipe uses pinto beans, tomatoes, zucchini, and green pepper, cooked in the slow cooker with the perfect seasonings.

And for one more completely different take on Sloppy Joes, how about these Crockpot Chicken Sloppy Joes from Color Me Pink?  Chicken breasts are cooked on low in  a smoky barbecue-flavored sauce and then the shredded chicken and sauce is served with cabbage slaw.
