Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes

• 3 lb ground beef or turkey
• 2 cup onion, chopped (2 large)
• 4 clove garlic, minced
• 2 1/2 cup chopped sweet peppers (about 2-3 medium)
• 2 cup chopped celery

• 12 buns
• 1 dill pickle slices (optional)
• 1 slice pickled peppers (optional)

1. In a large skillet cook ground beef, onions, and garlic over medium heat until may is brown and onion are tender, using a wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks.
2. Drain off fat.
3. (I have to do this in two steps because I need a larger skillet).
4. In a 3.5 or 4 quart slow cooker combine meat mixture, sweet peppers, celery, beer, ketchup, molasses, yellow mustard, chili powder, vinegar, and a dash of hot pepper sauce.
5. Cover and cook on low-heat seeing for 6 to 8 hours on high-heat setting fire 3 to 4 hours
6. To serve, use a slotted spoon to soon meat mixture onto roll bottoms.
7. If desired, add assorted toppers ( pickles, peppers, extra mustard).
8. Personally I usually eat these open faced because they're pretty sloppy.
