Crock Pot Cheeseburger Dinner

Mmmmm Who doesn't love Cheeseburgers? As a raider cooking them before raid time can sometimes be difficult though. Getting home at 6, cooking up burgers, eating and cleaning up by 7 can be a stretch and let's face it, Fast Food = quick, yummy but unhealthy & expensive if it's a regular thing. So here's a quick, easy alternative that even an Apprentice Cook can make.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Skill Needed: Apprentice

Materials to Gather:

• 1 -1 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 (5 ounce) box au gratin potato mix
• 1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
• salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 4 slices American cheese (4 thick slices or 8 thin slices)

Directions:

1. In a skillet, brown the ground beef with onions; drain. Place potatoes and seasoning mix in the slow cooker; cream of mushroom soup. Top potato mixture with ground beef and onions; salt and pepper to taste. Dot evenly with ketchup and mustard; top with cheese slices. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.
2. Note: Feel free to add a vegetable to this recipe. Simply add it with the soup. This recipe could use any boxed potatoes wit success. Feel free to season hamburger as you would if you were making cheeseburgers.
