Put in on in the morning for a yummy lunch! Great over baked potatoes too!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
• 1/2 tsp. garlic-pepper blend (see note)
• 1 (8-oz.) pkg. pasteurized process cheese spread
• 2 Tablespoons milk
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 sandwich buns, split

Directions:

1. In large skillet, brown ground beef and garlic-pepper blend until thoroughly cooked. Drain.
2. In 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker, combine cooked ground beef and all remaining ingredients except buns; mix well.
3. Cover, cook on Low for 6-7 hours. To serve, spoon mixture into sandwich buns.

Note: Garlic-pepper blend is a mixture of garlic powder and cracked black pepper. Check the spice shelves in your local grocery.
