Crockpot Hamburger Potato Casserole
A comforting one-pot meal featuring seasoned ground beef, creamy soup, tender potatoes, and melted cheese, perfect for busy days.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (lean or regular) Use lean ground beef for less grease.
- 4-5 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced Slice potatoes about 1/8 inch thick.
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided Use sharp or mild cheese based on preference.
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or chopped chives For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until the beef is browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
- Wash and thinly slice the potatoes evenly to help them cook properly.
- In the crockpot, layer half the potatoes, then half the cooked beef and onion mixture, followed by some shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour over layered ingredients.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly.
- About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top. Cover again to melt the cheese. Garnish before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, add favorite seasonings or vegetables like bell peppers. Slicing potatoes evenly ensures they cook uniformly. For a crunchy topping, add crushed crackers or fried onions towards the end of cooking.
