Ingredients
4 servings
- •1 sheet aluminum foil
- •1 ⅓ pounds 85% lean ground beef
- •2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
- •2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- •1 teaspoon grill seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®)
- •1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- •1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
- •⅓ cup dry bread crumbs
- •1 egg, beaten
- •4 teaspoons browning sauce (such as Kitchen Bouquet®)
- •4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Set a slow cooker to Low.
- Create a rack for the bottom of the cooker by rolling aluminum foil into 1-inch rolls. For a 5-quart, oblong cooker, make 4 rolls, using the length of the cooker as a guide. Fold in any long ends and squeeze back on the rolls. Evenly space the rolls along the bottom of the cooker.
- Combine ground beef, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add bread crumbs and egg. Mix all ingredients using your hands until they are evenly distributed.
- Form meat mixture into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Brush each side of the patties with 1/2 teaspoon of browning sauce, and place on the aluminum "rack", being careful not to overlap.
- Cook on Low for about 4 1/2 hours until burgers are no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
- Place each cooked patty on a hamburger bun.
