Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. This step is important to develop flavor and remove excess grease. Once browned, drain the fat and transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the slow cooker with the beef. Then, pour in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Stir everything together until well combined.
Once the Sloppy Joe mixture is done cooking, give it a final stir and taste for seasoning. Serve the mixture hot on soft hamburger buns. Enjoy with a side of coleslaw, potato chips, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
