SLOW COOKER HAMBURGERS
When summer temperatures climb to 100 degrees, or higher, avoid heating yourself or your kitchen, and use the slow cooker instead! Create a "rack" out of hand-formed rolls of aluminum foil for the bottom of the cooker, so the burgers won't sit in their own juices. Add a little smoke flavor and some browning sauce, and you'll have a good-looking, tasty burger that is full of smoky flavor. Optional toppings for the hamburgers include cheese, mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, sliced tomato, sliced onion, and lettuce.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: 80/20 ground beef is a good all-purpose choice for slow cooker hamburgers. It has enough fat to keep the burgers moist, but not so much that they're greasy.
- Season the beef well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
- Brown the beef before cooking: This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the burgers from becoming dry.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Leave some space between the burgers so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the burgers on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours: The cooking time will depend on the size of the burgers and how done you want them to be.
- Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings: Some popular choices include cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker hamburgers are a delicious and easy way to feed your family a home-cooked meal. With a little planning, you can have a tasty and satisfying meal on the table with minimal effort. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give slow cooker hamburgers a try.
