Description
A warm and hearty Crockpot Hamburger Potato Casserole layered with tender potatoes, juicy ground beef, and creamy cheese sauce — a comforting slow-cooked meal that’s perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
- Ground Beef: 1½ pounds — provides the hearty base and rich flavor.
- Potatoes: 5 medium (thinly sliced) — create the creamy, layered texture.
- Onion: 1 large (diced) — adds depth and a touch of sweetness.
- Cream of Mushroom Soup: 1 can (10.5 oz) — binds everything with velvety smoothness.
- Milk: ½ cup — thins the soup into a rich sauce that seeps into every bite.
- Cheddar Cheese: 1½ cups shredded — adds gooey, melty richness on top.
- Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon — enhances the savory notes.
- Salt: 1 teaspoon — balances and brings out flavors.
- Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon — adds a subtle kick.
- Butter: 2 tablespoons (cut into cubes) — adds richness as it melts through the layers.

- Preheat Your Equipment: Set your crockpot to low heat so it’s ready for layering.
- Combine Ingredients: Mix the soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the creamy sauce.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly grease your crockpot with butter or cooking spray.
- Assemble the Dish: Layer half the potatoes on the bottom, followed by half the beef, onions, and sauce. Repeat layers and top with cheese.
