Notes
- Brown the beef the night before so you can dump all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning.
- Toast the buns lightly for extra texture and to prevent sogginess.
- Set out coleslaw as a topping - it adds an amazing crunch.
- Keep the meat warm in the slow cooker for parties.
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- Try different sodas - Root beer or Coke work great too!
- Add extra veggies like grated carrots to sneak in more nutrition.
