Tip!
Want onions with that? Perhaps a thin slice, raw, served as a garnish? An 1/8" thick slice of a medium onion adds about 1g net carbs.

That would be a fun experiment. My concern is that it may turn out too soupy, but I have not tried it in the slow cooker.
I think next time, I'll try draining the excess fat (reserve for a "gravy" to pour over it) and use American cheese instead of cheddar. I'm not a big cheddar fan unless its over taco salad. Traditionally cheeseburgers have American cheese on them not cheddar. But I liked the recipe, I liked the chopped pickles in it. Its very satisfying, and filling.
I did cook it ahead, and refrigerate it before putting in the oven, it was wonderful! I will be making this again, and am sure that the other half will be enjoying it as well - he has loved nearly all of the DD recipes I have 'tried out' on him!
Standard food safety guidelines apply to all of our recipes. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge 3-4 days before the risk of food poisoning begins to rise.
You can add it back in with the ground beef in Step 5.
Next time I will let it sit a few minutes after taking it out of the oven, to let it set a bit. It was very soupy but improved the longer it sat. Will definitely make this again!
Some people are able to use coconut cream in place of heavy cream in most recipes!
