How to Make Easy Cheeseburger Sandwiches in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
These Easy Crock Pot Cheeseburger Sandwiches were a big hit at my house. The boys could doctor their sandwiches up with all the fixin’s they wanted while Sis and I could satisfy our picky eater hearts by just having the beef mixture on the delicious pretzel buns. I love when a recipe can fit the needs of everyone in my house!
If you need to feed more than eight people, you can easily double this recipe. The timing will most likely be a little longer since your crock pot will have more ingredients in it. So, you will need to watch it closely (as always) the first time you make it to see exactly how long it takes in your specific slow cooker. This is a seriously easy to feed a crowd!
