Sloppy Joe Cheeseburger Sliders

This thick beef filling lands between sloppy Joe and cheeseburger, with mustard, tomato and sharp cheddar stirred in at the end. Browning the meat first removes excess fat and keeps the slow cooker from producing gray beef. Spoon it into buns only when serving so the bottoms stay intact.
