🥔 Crockpot Ground Beef & Potatoes
Ingredients
1½–2 lbs ground beef
4–5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 small onion, sliced (optional but recommended)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika (or seasoning salt)
1 cup beef broth or water
Optional add-ins: shredded cheese, cream of mushroom soup, sliced mushrooms
Instructions
Layer the potatoes
Place sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the beef
Spread the raw ground beef evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle remaining seasonings on top. Add onion if using.
Pour liquid
Pour beef broth around the edges (not directly on top so layers stay intact).
Cook
LOW: 6–7 hours
HIGH: 3–4 hours
(Potatoes should be fork-tender and beef fully cooked.)
Optional finishing touches
Stir gently and top with cheese, cover 10–15 minutes until melted
Or stir in ½–1 can cream of mushroom soup for a creamy version
Serving Ideas
Serve with a side salad or green beans
Spoon into bowls and top with sour cream or chopped parsley
If you want, I can turn this into a long SEO-optimized post, a 3-ingredient version, or a cheesy casserole-style recipe 😄
