Irresistible Slow Cooker Jackfruit Sloppy Joes Recipe
  • Prep Time

    4 hrs 5 mins
  • Total Time
    4 hrs 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp of vegetable oil for sautéing
  • ½ cup of finely chopped onion
  • ½ cup of diced red bell pepper
  • 1 can of green jackfruit (16 oz), drained of brine
  • 2 cups of plain tomato sauce
  • 2 tbsp of rich brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tbsp of robust brown mustard
  • 1 tbsp of tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp of spicy sriracha sauce
  • 1 tsp of tangy white vinegar
  • ½ tsp of aromatic garlic powder
  • ½ tsp of dried parsley
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to suit your taste buds
  • 6 soft hamburger buns

Step 1

Start by activating the Saute function on a versatile pressure cooker like the Instant Pot®. Heat up some oil along with the onion and bell pepper until they begin to soften, typically around 3 to 5 minutes. Once done, turn off the Saute function and carefully layer the jackfruit on top of the cooked vegetables.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, sriracha sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Whisk this flavorful mixture thoroughly before pouring it over the jackfruit in the pressure cooker, ensuring an even distribution. Seal the lid securely, select the Slow Cook setting, and program the timer for 4 hours to allow all the ingredients to meld together beautifully.

Step 3

While the jackfruit is cooking, take the time to toast your hamburger buns to perfection. Once the jackfruit is ready, serve it generously piled on the buns for a delicious and satisfying meal.
