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.
UPDATE: We love this Cheeseburger Salad so much, we often wrap it up in low carb tortillas to make for an awesome meal on the go. So much so that we recently listed it as one of our favorite road trip foods in the video below.

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.
