A delightful twist on the classic Sloppy Joe, featuring enhanced flavors and a touch of spice.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned.
Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks for an even texture.
Add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Cook the vegetables until they are translucent for the best flavor.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Use a spoon to carefully remove the fat, or tilt the skillet and drain it off.
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a slow cooker.
Preheat the slow cooker for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
Add the tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Toast the hamburger buns before serving.
Toasting the buns adds a nice crunch and prevents them from getting soggy.
Spoon the beef mixture onto the toasted buns and serve warm.
Serve with a side of coleslaw or pickles for a complete meal.
