Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly (about ⅛”)
Sauce & Seasoning
- 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Cheese Topping
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
- Brown the beef and onion: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Drain any excess fat and remove from heat.
- Mix sauce: To the skillet, add the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a creamy mixture.
- Layer potatoes in crockpot: Grease or line the crockpot and arrange half of the thin sliced potatoes in an even layer on the bottom.
- Add beef mixture and cheese: Pour half of the beef and sauce mixture evenly over the potatoes, then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
- Repeat layering: Add the remaining potatoes in another layer, followed by the rest of the beef mixture. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours until the potatoes are fork tender and the casserole is heated through.
Notes
- Slice potatoes thinly and evenly to ensure even cooking throughout the casserole.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a microwave-safe dish until warmed through.
- Ensure ground beef is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71.1 °C) for food safety.
