I often get asked if our VERY popular Crock Pot Cheeseburger Sandwiches can be made without Velveeta. So I decided to give it a try and since then we have been using our altered recipe in this Crock Pot Cheeseburger Salad (and we also make them into Crock Pot Cheeseburger Lettuce Wraps too! Oh. My. Word is this recipe good!
This recipe is perfect for potlucks. You can make Crock Pot Cheeseburger Salad meat and then offer guests buns for sandwiches and bagged salad for those who prefer it as a salad. The great thing is all the toppings are the same! Pickles, Tomatoes, Onions, Ketchup, Mustard and Mayo all can be used to top this yummy salad.

Notes on Crock Pot Cheeseburger Salad
- We used a browning slow cooker to make this a one pot meal but you can use a skillet to brown the beef and use a regular slow cooker if desired.
- We used shallots in this recipe, but onions are a good substitute. We like to use freeze dried shallots in our kitchen to keep them always on hand.
- We calculated the meat in this recipe as having 334 calories and .7 net carbs based off the specific ingredients we used.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
