People ask me all the time what the secret to my uber-flavorful, delicious Tailgater Sloppy Joe is. How do I get that tang that makes Sloppy Joes so awesome and how do I get that spicy kick that tastes great but does not burn? Another question? How do I eat something with such a bite when they know that I have heartburn. The second question is easy: Nexium® 24HR Clear Minis. It keeps my heartburn in check even with the spiciest sandwich being devoured! The first question, of how to infuse the most amazing flavor into the Tailgater Sloppy Joe is the Slow Cooker. Letting the ingredients simmer for hours just blends the tastes, enhances the tang and makes the kick of the red pepper flake and cayenne pepper and turns it into a heat that is smooth and flavorful.

With football season in full swing the tailgating recipes are definitely needed. But help managing heartburn from greasy wings to slightly charred hot dogs is also necessary! A while back I started using Nexium® 24HR Clear Minis to help manage mine. I was experiencing heartburn at least 2 days in a row, frequently, and it was preventing me from enjoying my recipes like this Spicy Slow Cooker Tailgater Sloppy Joes. I am not OK with that! But with PPI’s, like Nexium® 24HR Clear Minis, being the only OTC treatments specifically approved and designed for the treatment of frequent heartburn, I could now enjoy the foods I wanted without the burn later.

Recipe type: sandwich
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 pounds ground beef I use 90% lean
  • ½ cup onion finely diced
  • 1½ 8 ounce cans tomato sauce
  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 hamburger buns - I used sweet Hawaiian
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
  2. Place the ground beef in the pan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula.
  3. Add the onion and cook for an addition 4-5 minutes.
  4. Place the beef and onion mixture in the slow cooker along with the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper and ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
  5. Stir to combine the ingredients.
  6. Cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours.
  7. Spoon the meat onto the hamburger buns then serve.

Now you may want to play with the heat a little as far as measurement. You can also add a diced jalapeno into the meat mixture but I don’t care for them so I use the flakes and cayenne to get the same effect.

I also use sweet Hawaiian buns to balance the tang and the heat. The sweetness goes really well with the meat mixture. You will love it!

As far as making them tailgater ready; the solution is super easy. Wrap them, freshly made, in tin foil. This keeps them warm and makes them super easy to unwrap and eat!
