Crockpot Hamburger Potato Casserole

A hearty casserole combining ground beef, creamy cheese, and tender potatoes, perfect for busy days.

  • Total Time: 495 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned and no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  2. Wash and thinly slice the potatoes evenly (about 1/8 inch thick).
  3. In the crockpot, layer half the potatoes first, then half the cooked beef and onion mixture, followed by a portion of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef, and some cheese.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour this evenly over the layered ingredients in the crockpot.
  5. Cover and cook the casserole on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole. Cover to melt the cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped chives before serving.

Notes

Ensure potatoes are sliced evenly for consistent cooking. You can add more veggies like bell peppers or carrots for added nutrition. Layering is key for flavor.
