FAQs & Tips

Can you make this low-carb?

Yes! To me, this is a always a low-carb casserole because I always make this cheeseburger-inspired recipe using low-carb tortillas. I also use a dill relish that has 0 added sugar. I encourage you to use your preferred tortilla whether it be low-carb, whole wheat or regular flour. 

Will the casserole stick to the crockpot?

It has the potential to. Be sure to spray the slow cooker generously with cooking spray. If you don’t have cooking spray, you can also put parchment paper down before adding the building your casserole. This will help prevent it from sticking to the sides of the slow cooker. Let the casserole cool before slicing. This will also help prevent it from sticking to the sides.

Do you have to use ground beef?

Nope. Use your preferred ground meat. Ground turkey turns this into a tasty ground turkey cheeseburger casserole!  

What kind of cheese should you use?

I like to use cheddar cheese. Other suggestions include Swiss or provolone cheese. You can even add vegetables like diced mushrooms & bell peppers to the meat mixture.

What do you garnish this with?

Garnish with your favorite burger toppings. I used shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. 

How do you store leftovers?

Store leftover crockpot cheeseburger casserole in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. 

What size slow cooker did you use?

I use a  6-quart slow cooker.
