Description
A hearty and comforting Crockpot Hamburger Potato Casserole that combines ground beef, potatoes, and cheese for a cozy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 450 grams ground beef (lean or regular)
- 4 to 5 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced (approximately 3 mm thick)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 200 grams shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 300 grams canned cream of mushroom soup
- 120 millilitres milk
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Chopped chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Sauté ground beef with chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is fully browned with no pink remaining, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat to reduce greasiness.
- Rinse potatoes thoroughly and slice them into uniform pieces, approximately 3 millimetres thick, ensuring even cooking.
- Arrange half of the sliced potatoes at the base of the slow cooker, followed by half of the cooked beef and onion mixture and a portion of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Layer the remaining potatoes, then add the rest of the beef and onion mixture and another portion of cheddar cheese, reserving some cheese for finishing.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Evenly pour this mixture over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low setting for 6 to 8 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese has melted and become bubbly.
- Approximately 15 minutes prior to serving, sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese over the top. Cover and allow cheese to melt. Finish with fresh parsley or chopped chives if desired.
Notes
- Ensure that the potatoes are sliced evenly to ensure proper cooking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or carrots, for added nutrition.
- This dish can be prepared the night before and cooked the next day for convenience.
