Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 –5 medium potatoes thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley optional
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese optional

Method
 

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
  2. Lightly grease the crockpot. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom.
  3. Add half of the cooked ground beef, followed by half of the onion and garlic.
  4. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  5. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes and beef mixture.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Pour evenly over the casserole.
  7. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
  8. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top during the last 20 minutes of cooking and allow it to melt before serving.

Notes

Use thin, evenly sliced potatoes for best results.
Lean ground beef helps reduce excess grease.
Add vegetables like carrots or green beans for extra nutrition.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
