OMG! I have an old Crock Pot manual from around then, is this the
recipe? From page 25:

Sloppy Joes

3 lbs gound chuck or hamburger
2 onions, finely chopped
1 green pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
2 8-oz cans tomato sauce
1 8-oz can water
2 packages sloppy joe seasoning
salt to taste

Brown ground meat in skillet, pour into colander and rinse well. Put
into Crock-Pot, add onions, green pepper, tomato sauce and water.
Stir thoroughly. Salt to taste. Cover and cook on Low 8 to 10
hours.
