Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 8 ounces Velveeta cut into 1-inch cubes
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 1 cup cooked bacon crumbles
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 hamburger buns
  • Optional Toppings: lettuce, tomato, sliced cheese, and pickles

Instructions

  • Cook beef and garlic over medium-high heat in a 12-inch skillet, approximately 8-10 minutes. It will continue to cook in the crockpot, so it's okay to cook it medium/medium well instead of all the way well done. Crumble the beef while you cook to your liking. Drain the skillet of the oil.
