  • Servings:

    6

Ingredients

1 T. vegetable oil
1 onion, large, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1-1/2 lb. ground turkey

1 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. packed light brown sugar
8 oz. can tomato sauce
1/4 c. water

Maybe it’s just me, but I think it would be really helpful if you could let us know what size crockpot you use for a specific recipe. I just put all the ingredients in for the sloppy joes, and it only fills my crockpot about 1/4 of the way. I’m worried it won’t cook properly now. 🙁

I just want to say thank you for that little bit of info about how full the crock pot should be! I never knew it had to be over 1/2 full.
I have, I assume, a rather large crock pot (a large rectangle shape), and find things cook very quickly, especially chicken. From now on I will make sure it’s filled a lot more. 🙂 Thank you, and I am loving your recipes!
