Description
A hearty and creamy casserole featuring ground beef, potatoes, and melted cheese, perfect for busy days.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (lean or regular)
- 4-5 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild), divided
- 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
- Cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Wash and thinly slice the potatoes to about 1/8 inch thick.
- In the crockpot, layer half of the sliced potatoes, then half of the beef and onion mixture, followed by some cheddar cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour over the layered ingredients.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly.
- About 15 minutes before serving, top with remaining cheddar cheese and cover to melt.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider including other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots. Can substitute cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken soup.
