This recipe has been made in our family in the oven for years, so I thought I should give it a try in the crock pot! So I give you my Crock Pot Hamburger Casserole. You can thank me later. 😉
Aunt Lou here.
This is seriously one of my FAVORITE childhood recipes. I would have been happy if momma would have made this every week. It is also one of the first meals I mastered when I started to try and cook.

Momma always made this in the oven. I usually make it in the oven too. It is a smaller portion, though, and we always seem to want more leftovers from this one. So, since ya’ll know I love my crock pots, I couldn’t help but try it out as a crock pot meal. And by golly, it worked! Woohoo!
I hope you guys enjoy this delicious and simple meal as much as we do. It is actually one of the first things I made for Michael. He fell in love with it, and my hubs is the epitome of the saying, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!” 😉

How to Make Hamburger Casserole in a Slow Cooker

Notes on Crock Pot Hamburger Casserole
- I made this Crock Pot Hamburger Casserole in my 9 x13 casserole slow cooker made by Crock Pot. It was perfect for spreading everything out. If you don’t have one, you can use a 6-quart slow cooker.
- 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.

December 15, 2015 at 10:53 amI made (what I call) Hungry Jack casserole last night, very much like this but it has bbq sauce and cheese in the recipe. My son said it would be perfect without the bbq sauce and the cheese! lol…so he asked for a casserole with just the meat and biscuits. This will be his new favorite, I can tell already. Thanks for the idea!

November 23, 2015 at 6:59 pmOoohh, this sounds SO good!! The link to the oven recipe isn’t working. If I were to bake this what temp would I use and for how long? And what type of biscuits, the popping tube type?
Thanks for sharing! 🙂

November 23, 2015 at 3:57 pmCan you email me the oven version of your Crock Pot Hamburger Casserole? I have a small family and that version might work better for me.
Thanks so much!
