Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds ground beef
5–6 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
1 cup whole milk
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Optional garnish: chopped parsley

Instructions

Step 1:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess grease and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 2:

Wash and slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds. This helps them cook evenly in the crockpot.

Step 3:

In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4:

Lightly grease the crockpot. Layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom, followed by half of the cooked beef, onions, and garlic. Pour some sauce over the layer and sprinkle with cheese.

Step 5:

Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, beef, sauce, and cheese. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender and casserole is bubbly.

Notes

Slice potatoes thinly and evenly to ensure they cook through. Thick slices may remain firm in the slow cooker.
