Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1 ½ cups shredded carrots
• ⅓ cup tomato paste
• 2 (16 ounce) jars salsa
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
• 3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner
• 1 ½ cups finely chopped red or green bell pepper
• 2 teaspoons dried basil, crushed
• 6 kaiser rolls, split and toasted

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with a Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner. Open slow cooker liner and place it inside a slow cooker bowl. Fit liner snugly against the bottom and sides of bowl; pull top of liner over rim of bowl.

Step 2

In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until brown, stirring to break meat in pieces. Drain fat.

Step 3

Combine beef and remaining ingredients (excluding kaiser rolls) in the slow cooker.

Step 4

Cover; cook on high-heat setting 4 to 5 hours or low-heat setting 8 to 10 hours.

Step 5

Carefully remove lid to allow steam to escape. Serve sloppy joes right out of your slow cooker, spooning meat onto each kaiser roll. Do not lift or transport liner with food inside. Cool slow cooker completely, spoon out any excess liquid, remove liner and toss.
