Description

A comforting and hearty slow cooker dish with layers of ground beef, potatoes, and vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 cups sliced potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)


Instructions

  1. Chop the onion and mince the garlic; set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink; drain excess fat.
  3. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  4. Add the browned beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and frozen corn on top of the potatoes.
  5. Sprinkle chili powder, salt, and black pepper over the layers.
  6. Mix the condensed soup with the milk in a bowl and pour over the layers in the slow cooker.
  7. Add the remaining potato slices on top.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
  9. 20 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheese on top and cover until melted.

Notes

For a spicy kick, consider adding diced jalapeños or hot sauce. Substitute ground beef with lentils for a vegetarian version.
