Description

A comforting, slow-cooked casserole made with tender potatoes, savory ground beef, and a creamy, cheesy sauce that brings classic cowboy-style flavors to your table with ease.


Ingredients

  • pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced (about pounds)
  • 1½ cups corn kernels, frozen or canned and drained
  • 2 cups cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley


Instructions

  1. Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 6–8 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened. Drain fat and stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
  2. Lightly grease the slow cooker.
  3. Layer half the potatoes, half the beef mixture, and half the corn. Repeat layers.
  4. Whisk together cream of mushroom soup, milk, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley. Pour evenly over casserole.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
  6. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top during the last 20 minutes of cooking. Cover until melted.
  7. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Dice potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
  • Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
