Description
A hearty, comforting layered casserole made with ground beef, tender potatoes, and creamy mushroom soup, all cooked in a slow cooker for maximum flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup

- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 cups sliced potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or preference)
Instructions
- Gather and prep everything so assembly is quick.
- Brown the ground beef with the chopped onion and garlic in a skillet. Drain excess fat.
