A hearty, comforting slow-cooked casserole with ground beef, sliced potatoes, and a creamy, cheesy sauce. An easy, hands-off dinner perfect for busy days.
1½ lbs ground beef
4–5 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt & pepper to taste
Cooking spray or butter for greasing
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, milk, and sour cream (if using).
Grease the crockpot. Layer potatoes, onion, beef, soup mixture, and cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese.
Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
