I live in MD and this is the only place I've ever heard them called steamers as well.When my husband was in the service we'd try and order a steamer sub certain places like CA for example and they would just gaze at us like we were speaking another language.It's funny how certain things are regional, most don't call a hoagie a sub either,LOL

They didn't know what a steamer or a sub was.
Wow this sounds really good *and I don't like hamburger meat lol*
@Rhea, Thanks for stopping by. The recipe is yummy, the kids love it. I have to admit, I can put down 1 or 2 myself. The recipe is called "Steamers" that's why I have Crockpot Steamers. I've modified the recipe for the crockpot and my kids. Normally, Steamers on made on top of the stove using a steaming process. This recipe is similar to Sloppy Joes, but the ground beef/texture is much finer, similiar to a Steamer.
Steamers are normally cooked on top of the stove and the ground beef is steamed in water, which is where the name Steamer is derived. I try to use my crockpot for as many dishes as I can. They're the next best thing to sliced bread. Please visit again, I'm always posting crockpot recipes.
I agree with Rhea it sounds like Sloppy Joes. I had never heard them called steamers until we lived in MD. When we lived there, a steamer could be a sloppy Joe, a crab, or a hot milk drink. It just depended o where you were. We had to ask wherever we went if someone simply said "Steamer." The sloppy Joe style steamers are yummy though.
Well that sounds good. Kinda like Sloppy Joes/Mamwich's. I've never heard it called a "crockpot steamer" though, just crockpot. And I love mine. Thanks for the recipe.
Oh that does sound good. I am always looking for something to make in my crockpot that is nice and easy.
This sounds so yummy!! Thanks for sharing!
