Crock‑Pot Hamburger Potato Casserole
This one‑pot casserole layers browned ground beef, sliced potatoes and a creamy mushroom sauce, then finishes with melted cheese. It’s a comforting, crowd‑pleasing dish that comes together in the crock‑pot with minimal hands‑on time.
Instructions
-
Brown the ground beef in a skillet until fully cooked, then season with salt and pepper.
-
In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk; stir until smooth to create the sauce.
-
Slice the potatoes into thin rounds.
-
In the crock‑pot, layer half of the sliced potatoes, then spread the browned beef, and pour half of the mushroom sauce over the top. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and beef, finishing with the remaining sauce.
-
Cover and cook on low for about 6‑8 hours, or on high for 3‑4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
-
About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top, replace the lid, and allow it to melt.
Tips
For extra texture, add a handful of frozen veggies or a quick‑cook hash‑brown layer during assembly. Adjust seasoning after the cheese melts if needed.
