Juicy and easy to prepare, Crockpot Express Hamburgers are perfect for any weeknight dinner! Pile on all your favorite toppings and make it a burger night.
Mix the ground beef with seasonings and divide into quarters. Press each ¼ pound of meat into a patty. Place the patty on a sheet of foil large enough to fold over to create a packet.
Place the trivet in the bottom of the inner pot, pour in 1 cup of water and then stack the foil wrapped patties on the trivet (on top of each other.)
Close and lock the lid, turning the steam release valve to closed and then press Steam. It should default to 10 minutes on high pressure. Press Start/Stop. When it’s done heating up and then cooking, do a quick release by flipping open the steam release valve.
Carefully remove the patties/foil packets and then open and drain off any fat. Add cheese right away to let it start to melt over the warm burgers.
Build a delicious burger with all your favorite toppings!
Notes
If you prefer a crispy outside to your burgers, place them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to crisp and brown a bit. Add the cheese while the burgers are still warm so it gets soft and melty.Whether cooking one single patty or several, the cook time remains the same.Cook frozen uncooked patties for 12 minutes, followed by quick release.
