Slow Cooker Frozen Hamburger Patties Food

SLOW COOKER HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Set a slow cooker to Low.
• Create a rack for the bottom of the cooker by rolling aluminum foil into 1-inch rolls. For a 5-quart, oblong cooker, make 4 rolls, using the length of the cooker as a guide. Fold in any long ends and squeeze back on the rolls. Evenly space the rolls along the bottom of the cooker.
• Combine ground beef, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add bread crumbs and egg. Mix all ingredients using your hands until they are evenly distributed.
• Form meat mixture into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Brush each side of the patties with 1/2 teaspoon of browning sauce, and place on the aluminum "rack", being careful not to overlap.
• Cook on Low for about 4 1/2 hours until burgers are no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Place each cooked patty on a hamburger bun.

CROCK POT SMOTHERED BEEF PATTIES - STARTING FROM FROZEN PATTIES

Steps:

• Place 1 patty in crock pot or 2 patties side by side if they fit -- depending on your crock pot.
• Put 1 tsp of Worcester sauce on the patty, sprinkle onion, salt and pepper and a little tomatoes w/ chillies.
• Put another patty on top and repeat step two.
• Layer over and over finishing with the tomatoes. (It will look like a tower of beef patties!).
• Cook on high for 4-5 hours.
• I usually serve with ketchup.
