Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5 small potatoes, sliced
  • 2 lbs ground beef, browned and drained
  • 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese

Method
 

  1. Brown the beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain the grease and set aside.
  2. Prep the potatoes: Peel and slice your potatoes into even rounds—about ⅛-inch thick for best results.
  3. Mix the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the casserole: Spray your crockpot with non-stick spray. Layer half the potato slices, half of the ground beef, half the soup mixture, and half the cheese. Then, repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining cheese on top.
  5. Cook: Place the lid on your crockpot and cook on high for 3–4 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Rest and serve: Turn off the crockpot and let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes to thicken. Slice and serve alongside a salad or steamed veggies.

Notes

Need subs? No problem. Swap ground turkey for beef, or use cream of chicken soup if you’re out of mushroom. The casserole is super forgiving!
