  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 onion
  • 4 Idaho potatoes
  • 2 small cream of mushroom cans
  • 1 bag frozen Peas

How To Make Creamy Beef and Potato Casserole

Brown the beef

Sauté the chopped onion and garlic with the ground beef and seasonings until the meat is cooked through.

Build the layers

Thinly slice the potatoes. Layer a third in the slow cooker, then add half the meat, some peas, and one can of soup. Repeat with more potatoes, the remaining meat and peas, and the remaining potatoes. Spread the second can of soup over the top.

Slow cook

Cover and cook on high for about four hours, until the potatoes are tender.

Add the crunchy topping

Transfer to an oven-safe dish if needed. Top with cheddar and crushed potato chips, then bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes until the casserole is hot and the topping is golden.

Recipe Variations

  • Change the potato chip topping to your favorite plain or lightly salted chips.

Tips for Success

  • Use an oven-safe baking dish for the final bake unless your slow cooker insert is explicitly rated for oven use.
  • Slice the potatoes evenly so they soften at the same pace. Keep the soup spread across the layers rather than stirring the entire casserole.
