Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 serving of pre-cooked ground beef + 1 med diced onion ~or~ 1 serving make-ahead crockpot ground beef
- 8 ounces Velveeta or any shredded cheeses flavors you want
- 1 canister Onion & Chive cream cheese
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup evaporated milk
Instructions
- Toss everything in the bag.
- Partially zip the bag and squeeze out as much air as possible and seal.
- Label with contents and date cooked or "use by" date, your choice (good up to 3 months)
To Cook in the Slow Cooker:
- Defrost at least 30 minutes on the counter or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Dump the contents in your crock pot.
- Cover and cook on low for 2 to 4 hours until the cheeses are melted.
- Serve on buns
To Cook in the Skillet:
- Two options here in the beginning...
- You can start with make-ahead ground beef via the crock pot ground beef recipe or the make-ahead freezer ground beef skillet method (either will need defrosted in the refrigerator for a few hours)
- OR
- Cook the ground beef and minced onion in a skillet over medium heat until cooked and no longer pink. Stir and chop frequently.
- Add the minced garlic and cooked another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain the grease off the meat and turn the heat to low.
- Add the cheeses and milk the skillet, cover and allow the cheeses to melt (2 to 5 minutes, depending on the type of skillet and the heat it inducts).
- Stir to combine and serve on buns or in wraps.
Want to Save Even More Time?
- Pre-cook everything. These crockpot cheeseburgers freeze GREAT! Just pre-cook according to the recipe directions above, cool and freeze. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator. You can warm it up in a skillet or in the crockpot. Or even the microwave. How's that one for a 5-minute meal!
