These were a huge hit with my kids.  They had theirs on hamburger buns.  I had mine on top of spaghetti squash.


Crockpot Cheeseburgers


INGREDIENTS:



  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces Light Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons skim milk
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 large clove garlic, put through press or chopped fine
  • 8 sandwich buns, split and toasted (Whole wheat)
  • pickles, mustard, ketchup, relish, tomato slices, onion slices, or other condiments and toppers

PREPARATION:


In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with garlic powder and black pepper until beef is cooked through. Drain off excess fat and transfer beef to a 3 1/2 to 5-quart crockpot. Add cheese, milk, green bell pepper, chopped onion, and pressed garlic to the beef. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 7 hours. Serve the beef on toasted sandwich buns with an assortment of condiments.

Susan,
My girls are 16 and 11. They are both pretty good eaters but, ironically, they rarely like the same foods! It turned out that 11yo DD loved the crockpot cheeseburger, 16yo DD ate it but wasn't crazy for it. Both liked the smothered chicken (sans broccoli - it was brownish from the balsamic vinegar - I should try white balsamic vinegar next time)!

I was thinking of adding some cooked Whole Wheat elbow noodles to this, right at the end, and having Cheeseburger Macaroni.

Has anyone tried this?? I'll be doing this for tomorrow night's dinner and will be sure to let you know how it is.

Michele,

I made this last week and it was delicious. I think adding whole wheat elbow noodles would be REALLY good!!

Let us know how it turns out!

HELP! I am making these right now for the first time - I don't know what I did wrong, but they are NOT turning out right! They have been int eh crockpot on low for only about 2 hrs so far, but the Velveeta "seperated" and is all curdled and grainy looking? It looks like little bits of cheese floating in oil w/grnd beef in it! Not too appetizing! Is there anything I can do to save it? What could I have done wrong?
