Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb ground beef or shaved steak
Vegetables:
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 4 cups diced potatoes (peeled if desired)
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Brown meat in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, eliminating any pink coloration and draining excess fat.
- Sauté onions and bell peppers in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes, creating a fragrant vegetable base.
- Whisk together cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a separate mixing bowl to create a creamy sauce.
- Arrange the first layer of diced potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot, creating an even foundation.
- Distribute half of the cooked meat and vegetable mixture over the potato layer, ensuring uniform coverage.
- Sprinkle a generous portion of shredded cheese across the meat layer, adding richness and flavor.
- Carefully pour half of the prepared soup mixture over the cheese, allowing it to seep through the layers.
- Repeat the layering process with remaining potatoes, meat mixture, cheese, and soup mixture.
- Secure the crockpot lid and slow cook on low temperature for 5-6 hours, allowing ingredients to meld and potatoes to become tender.
- Once cooking is complete, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, fresh finish before serving.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef or thinly sliced steak to reduce excess grease and maintain a lighter dish.
- Customize the heat by adding diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for those who enjoy spicier flavors.
- Swap regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a nutrient-rich alternative that adds slightly different taste profile.
- Use low-fat cream of mushroom soup and reduced-fat cheese to create a healthier version of this hearty casserole.
