When summer temperatures climb to 100 degrees, or higher, avoid heating yourself or your kitchen, and use the slow cooker instead! Create a "rack" out of hand-formed rolls of aluminum foil for the bottom of the cooker, so the burgers won't sit in their own juices. Add a little smoke flavor and some browning sauce, and you'll have a good-looking, tasty burger that is full of smoky flavor. Optional toppings for the hamburgers include cheese, mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, sliced tomato, sliced onion, and lettuce.

Ingredients

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

Directions

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.

Cook's Notes:

A 4-quart slow cooker may require thicker burgers and a slightly longer cooking time; a 6-quart slow cooker may accommodate more than 4 patties. A 4-quart cooker will still need 4 foil rolls, and a 6-quart cooker may need 5 foil rows.
