Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup milk
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 4 cups sliced potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic until browned and onions are soft. Drain excess fat.
- Transfer the beef mixture to your slow cooker. Stir in mushroom soup, milk, kidney beans, tomatoes with chilies, corn, and seasonings.
- Layer in the sliced potatoes, stirring to coat them in the creamy mixture.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- In the final 20 minutes, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Cover again and let melt before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Casserole freezes well without the cheese; thaw overnight and reheat with cheese before serving.
