  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes to 6 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 to 5 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet), thinly sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened.
  3. Season the beef mixture with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and drain excess fat.
  4. Lightly grease the inside of a slow cooker.
  5. Wash and thinly slice the potatoes into even rounds.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and beef broth until smooth.
  7. Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  8. Add half of the sliced potatoes, followed by half of the beef mixture.
  9. Spoon some sauce over the beef and sprinkle with part of the cheddar cheese.
  10. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef mixture, and sauce.
  11. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  12. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours until the potatoes are tender.
  13. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly for the best texture.
  • Ground turkey or chicken can be used instead of beef.
  • Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Use a mix of cheeses such as Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a richer casserole.
  • Letting the casserole rest before serving helps it set properly.
