cook 5 lbs of bulk Hamburg in slow cooker
I have been cooking hamburger since I was twelve years old. That is fifty years and I only figured this out this past year. One of the blessings in my freezer is pre-cooked hamburger meat. This is so easy!
I hate big chunks of meat. I use my slow cooker all the time. I decided to give try cooking hamburger in my slow cooker.
You can cook the hamburger plain or with chopped onions. It is up to you. I usually do one chopped onion per pound of hamburger meat.
Place the hamburger in the slow cooker on high with onions if you like.
Stir in water
Set a timer for 15 minutes and stir and reset the timer
Cook for two hours or until the meat is browned and done
Cool, use slotted spoon to drain and package into 2 cup portions.
Label, date, freeze, and enjoy!
My precooked hamburger goes fast. It is my go to ingredient for fast meals.
