Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Protein

  • 1 lb ground beef

Vegetables

  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced or sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Dairy

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella)

Liquids

  • 1 cup beef broth

Pantry and Seasonings

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. This enhances flavor and ensures even cooking before using in the crockpot.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and dice or slice the potatoes uniformly to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a tender, creamy texture.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: In the crockpot, start with half of the potatoes, then add half of the browned beef, followed by chopped onions. Repeat these layers to distribute flavors and textures evenly.
  4. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Pour the mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the crockpot to keep everything moist and flavorful.
  5. Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until potatoes are tender and flavors have melded.
  6. Add the Cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, cover, and allow it to melt fully for a gooey, delicious finish.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into uniform pieces for consistent cooking.
  • Always brown the ground beef first to deepen flavor and reduce grease.
  • Layer ingredients evenly to ensure balanced flavor and texture.
  • Add cheese near the end to prevent burning and achieve perfect melting.
  • If the casserole seems dry during cooking, add a splash of beef broth to maintain moisture.
