Kitchen Sink Sloppy Joes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground turkey
3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbed (or diced)
1 small red onion, minced
1 medium green pepper, diced (I used 1/2 red and 1/2 green)
1 cup pasta sauce (I used Prego)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon flour (optional)

Preparation

-Brown the meat (turkey and beef) in large skillet with onions and peppers over medium heat.
-Drain off grease.
-Add the meat mixture, along with the remaining ingredients to the crock-pot and give it a quick stir. See NOTE at the bottom.
-If it looks too \"soupy\", then add 1 tbsp of flour to thicken.
-Cook on high for 1-2 hours or on low for 3-4 hours.
-Serve on seeded Kaisers (or rolls of choice) with a salad, french fries or potato salad.
NOTE: I made this is my small crock-pot, so I don't know cooking times for a large one.
