Crockpot Cheeseburgers
Description:
Crockpot cheeseburgers are a simple, hands-off way to enjoy juicy, flavorful burgers without standing over the stove or grill. The beef patties slowly cook in a savory sauce, staying tender and moist, then are topped with melted cheese for an easy family-friendly meal.
