Description
This Crockpot Hamburger Potato Casserole Recipe is a cozy, family-friendly slow cooker dinner made with tender potatoes, seasoned ground beef, and melty cheddar cheese. Perfect for busy weeknights when you want comfort food with minimal effort.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (lean or regular)
4–5 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or chopped chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
Wash and thinly slice the potatoes (about ⅛-inch thick) for even cooking.
Layer half of the potatoes in the crockpot, followed by half of the beef mixture and a portion of shredded cheese.
Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, beef, and more cheese.
In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over the casserole.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, until potatoes are tender.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top during the last 15 minutes. Cover until melted.
Garnish with parsley or chives before serving, if desired.
Notes
Slice potatoes evenly to avoid undercooked pieces.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or onion powder.
This recipe reheats well and tastes even better the next day.
