Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 4 cups Potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch thick)
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon 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 into small pieces. Drain any excess fat to prevent a greasy casserole.
  2. Layer the Potatoes and Onions: Thinly slice potatoes about 1/8 inch thick. Layer half of the potatoes on the bottom of the crockpot, then sprinkle a layer of chopped onions evenly over them.
  3. Add the Beef and Soup Mixture: Spread the browned ground beef over the potatoes and onions. In a bowl, mix the condensed cream of mushroom soup with beef broth and the seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika), then pour the mixture evenly over the beef layer.
  4. Top with Remaining Potatoes and Cheese: Place the remaining sliced potatoes on top, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese to create a gooey melted crust.
  5. Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, or until potatoes are tender and the casserole is bubbling. Avoid lifting the lid often to maintain temperature and cooking time.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once done, let the casserole rest for a few minutes to allow flavors to settle and the cheese to set slightly before serving.

Notes

  • The thinner the potato slices, the better and more evenly they will cook.
  • Drain ground beef thoroughly before adding to avoid a greasy final dish.
  • Layer ingredients evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
  • Check potatoes for tenderness starting at 6 hours to prevent overcooking.
  • Letting the casserole rest before serving helps it hold together well.
