A hearty slow cooker dish featuring layers of potatoes, ground beef, cheese, and seasonings for an easy family meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  3. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Add a layer of half the cooked ground beef and half the diced onion on top of the potatoes.
  5. Pour half of the soup mixture over the layers and sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese.

  7. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
  8. Stir gently before serving, and garnish with additional cheese if desired.
