A delightful twist on classic barbecued hamburgers, cooked to perfection in a slow cooker.
Mix the ground beef, finely chopped onion, ketchup, salt, egg, and bread crumbs in a mixing bowl until well combined.
Ensure the mixture is evenly combined for consistent patties.
Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent sticking while shaping the patties.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly brown each side of the patties.
Browning adds a nice crust and enhances the flavor.
Place the browned patties in the slow cooker and pour barbecue sauce over them.
Ensure the patties are evenly coated with the sauce.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent heat.
Serve the patties with your favorite sides or on buns as sandwiches.
Garnish with fresh herbs or additional barbecue sauce for extra flavor.
