Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef lean
  • 6 medium potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz can
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Optional Garnish
  • chopped parsley for serving

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Grease the Crockpot lightly. Layer half of the sliced potatoes, half of the cooked beef, half of the onions, and half of the soup mixture. Repeat the layers.
  4. Top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or until potatoes are tender.
  5. Before serving, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and allow it to melt for a few minutes. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

For a creamier result, add a dollop of sour cream before serving. You can also substitute cream of chicken soup for a lighter flavor.
