A creamy, layered slow cooker casserole made with seasoned ground beef, tender potatoes, and melty cheddar cheese. A hearty, no-fuss dinner perfect for busy nights.
1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
1 small yellow onion, diced
4 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
½ cup milk or evaporated milk
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Butter or cooking spray (for greasing)
In a skillet, cook ground beef with diced onion over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup with milk until smooth.
Grease the crockpot. Layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom.
Top with half the beef, half the soup mixture, and half the cheese.
Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
