Hello Carlos,

There are lots of recipes for spoon burgers, but the below recipe is the only one that I could find with evaporated milk.

Phaed

Spoon Burgers

2 lb Hamburger
1 Onion; minced
1/4 cn Evaporated milk
9 oz Velveeta; cut-up

Brown hamburger with minced onion, and drain off fat. Add the 
milk and cheese. 
Simmer in a slow cooker on low until it thickens. Serve on 
dollar sized rolls. This is great party food. Kids love them, too.
