Did you know that you can cook hamburgers in your slow cooker? I just found this out by accident today and I cannot wait to try it out. This is something that I have never thought of doing.  Here is a recipe that I found:

The Classic Hamburger

Making the perfect hamburger in your slow cooker is easy and delicious. All you need are a few ingredients, hamburger buns and your favorite toppings.
Ingredients:

• 2 pounds fresh-ground chuck or sirloin
• 1 large green bell pepper, seeded, stemmed, and finely chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 package dry ranch dressing
• 1 package onion soup mix
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/4 cup water.

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, pepper, onion, bread crumbs, ranch dressing, soup mix, egg, Worcestershire sauce and water.
2. Mix well with hands or a large fork.
3. Divide mixture in half and shape into 6 burgers, 1-inch thick.
4. Arrange burgers in the bottom of your slow cooker with enough space between.
5. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, until burgers are firm and register an internal temperature of 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
6. Serve on toasted buns with desired toppings.
