Here’s a simple and convenient Crockpot Frozen Patties Recipe—perfect for busy days when you want burgers or sandwich-style patties without thawing.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 4–6 frozen hamburger patties (beef, turkey, or chicken)
- 1 medium onion, sliced (optional)
- ½ cup beef broth or water
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: cheese slices, sautéed onions, mushrooms, or barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot:
- Lightly spray the crockpot insert with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Add Patties and Flavorings:
- Place frozen patties in a single layer in the crockpot.
- Add sliced onions if using.
- Mix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then pour over the patties.
- Cook:
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until patties are fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F / 71°C for beef).
- Optional: in the last 10–15 minutes, place cheese slices on top to melt.
- Serve:
- Remove patties carefully and serve on buns, over rice, or with vegetables.
- Spoon some of the cooking juices over the patties for extra flavor.
💡 Tips:
- You can also add sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or other vegetables for a one-pot meal.
- Avoid stacking frozen patties; layer them side by side for even cooking.
- For a barbecue twist, replace broth and Worcestershire sauce with barbecue sauce before cooking.
