How to Make Loose Meat Cheeseburgers on a Stove Top
Aunt Lou here.
One of our main goals on this site, besides giving you yummy recipes, is to speak life into your day. Please know that we do this because we realize every day is not sunshine and rainbows. We know some days you come looking for a recipe, but also could use an extra smile. So, I hope you find that here, dear readers. I hope this simple Stove Top Loose Meat Cheeseburgers will bring smiles to you and those that you love.
I love how simple this recipe is to make. It is the stove top version of Cris’ Crock Pot Cheeseburger Salad. If you want to eat this without a bun, then it is indeed low carb. However, if you eat low carb, you know adding the bun will most definitely make this recipe a non low carb recipe. So, you can make this recipe fit your personal wants and needs!
If you need to make this for a larger crowd, you could double up this recipe easily, however, you will need an extremely large skillet or a large pot.
