This page was started for my son, Elijah, who was born with a diaphragmatic hernia. He was given a 50% chance of survival. You can ready about his journey here. After already overcoming so many hurdles and currently fighting the Failure to Thrive diagnosis, we were shocked to learn about his allergy to dairy and eggs - his main source of calories. This site will chronicle our transition into a dairy and egg free home and the recipes we try along the way.

Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes


1 lb ground meat
1 onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 can (10 oz.) condensed tomato soup
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp yellow mustard
dash pepper
1/2 cup water
 
In a large saucepan, cook and crumble the meat, onion, celery.  Pour into slow cooker.

Stir in the soup, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and pepper.  

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. 

Holy Yum! My mom stopped by right before dinner and couldn't keep her hands out of this. Elijah couldn't get enough. I think my husband had five sandwiches. I had three. We will definitely be doing this more often. Also, when you're cooking it in the pan, the onion and celery seem like overkill, but it cooks up quite nicely. Also, I used a seedy mustard rather than yellow since we never have yellow mustard in the house. I'm not sure how big of a difference that made.
