Come home to the aromas of this crock pot hamburger and potato casserole cooking away in your kitchen. Layers of beef, potatoes, and melted cheese create a mouthwatering and hearty meal that you won’t be able to get enough of.
Slow Cooker Beef and Potatoes Ingredients
This crock pot hamburger and potato casserole combines ground beef and onions for a rich base, while a mixture of beef broth, onion soup mix, and cream of mushroom soup adds depth and creaminess.
Sliced golden potatoes provide a satisfying starchiness, and a layer of shredded Colby jack cheese adds a delightful richness.
You’ll need:
- 1½ pounds of lean ground beef
- 1 cup of diced yellow onion
- 1 cup of unsalted beef broth
- 2 ounces of dry onion soup mix
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can of cream of mushroom soup
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
- 5 pounds of golden potatoes, sliced ⅛ to ¼-inch thick
- 16-ounce block of Colby jack cheese, shredded
PRO TIP:
Make sure that you use unsalted broth for this recipe. You can substitute chicken or vegetable broth for the beef. If you do not use an unsalted broth, you may want to cut back on the amount of salt you add to your recipe.
Substitutions And Additions
POTATOES: You can substitute white or russet potatoes for the golden potatoes in this simple recipe. Use a mandolin or food processor with a slicing attachment to prepare the potatoes quicker.
If you use the potato substitutions, I suggest you peel the potatoes first as their skin is much thicker than the golden potatoes.
CHEESE: You can substitute sharp cheddar cheese for the Colby jack in this slow cooker ground beef and potatoes recipe.
You can even do a mix of the two kinds of cheese. Another great option to add would be pepper jack cheese to your cheese blend.
GROUND BEEF: If you prefer leaner meat or have dietary restrictions, you can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
YELLOW ONION: Customize the onion flavor by using red onions, sweet onions, or shallots instead of yellow onions.
Each type will add a distinct sweetness or mildness to the dish, altering the overall taste.
How To Make This Crock Pot Hamburger And Potato Casserole Recipe
Once you brown the ground beef and cook the onions, we will walk you through layering everything in the slow cooker before letting it do the rest of the work.
STEP ONE: In a medium skillet on medium-high heat, add the ground beef and diced onions.
Cook for five to six minutes or until no pink remains and the onions are tender. Make sure to break up the beef into crumbles.
Remove the cooked ground beef and onions and place them into a bowl or plate. Be sure to use a slotted spoon to allow all the excess rendered fat to remain in the skillet. Set aside.
STEP TWO: Add the unsalted beef broth, golden onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, salt, and black pepper to a mixing bowl with a pour spout.
Whisk to combine fully. Set aside.
STEP THREE: Spray the insert of a large 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray.
STEP FOUR: Evenly layer ⅓ of the sliced golden potatoes.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
I like to keep the skin on my golden potatoes because there are a lot of nutrients in the skin and it helps the potatoes hold their shape better during the long cooking time in the slow cooker. It also makes the prep time of your potatoes so much quicker when you do not have to peel the potatoes.
STEP FIVE: Sprinkle one-third of the ground beef mixture evenly over the potatoes.
STEP SIX: Pour one-third of the liquid mixture over the sliced potatoes and beef, then top that with one-third of the grated Colby jack cheese.
STEP SEVEN: Repeat steps four to six with the remaining ingredients. Your very top layer should be the final third of the shredded Colby jack cheese.
PRO TIP:
Your slow cooker will be very full after all the layers of potatoes, ground beef, and cheese are added.
As it cooks, it will reduce in your slow cooker. Do not remove the lid for the entire cooking time. You want to make sure that all the moisture created inside your slow cooker stays there to cook the potatoes.
At the 4½ hour mark, you can check to see if your potatoes are fork-tender. If so, they are done, but if not, you can cook them for an additional 30 minutes or so.
STEP SEVEN: Place the lid onto the slow cooker and turn it on the HIGH setting for 4½ hours or until the potatoes are fork tender.
PRO TIP:
You can keep your slow cooker beef and potatoes warm in your slow cooker for up to an hour until ready to serve. Most slow cookers have a warm or low setting.
I would not keep the slow cooker on warm any longer than an hour after the potatoes are fully cooked, as they will start to get mushy. I suggest keeping the lid on the slow cooker to prevent the potatoes from drying out.
How To Serve
Any slow cooker recipe makes for an easy weeknight meal, and this hearty dish is no exception.
Add sautéed vegetables, roasted vegetables, or a Caesar salad on the side.
Don’t forget the dinner rolls to mop up the extra sauce.

These recipes are good and nutritious. Living alone, it is usually easy to halve the ingredients and the recipe is still tasty. The added “tips” regarding cooking methods and/or substitute ingredients is very useful. Thank you for the diversity of your recipes throughout your web site.
Cathy says
I have not made this particular dish but I would make some changes. I would use shredded roast beef. We certainly eat hamburger but in a dish like this, my family prefers the texture of roast beef.
I also really watch the amount of sodium we eat so I would almost certainly make a homemade white sauce, perhaps with some cream cheese added.
And we would almost certainly use a sharp or mild cheddar.
Christine says
I add garlic and carrots

Very good recipe. Simple to make. I add a green salad to the menu when serving this.

Jana Vaughn says
I have never made slow cooker beef and potatoes before and this recipe is blowing my mind! I like a certain boxed skillet meal that has beef and potatoes (it is a guilty pleasure) BUT the sodium content is a killer! I can adjust this accordingly to lower the sodium. I am making this this week! I can’t wait. Plus I can freeze some, woohoo! Thank you for this recipe.
Rhonda says
This looks yummy! I have never made it before, but am always looking for new crock pot recipes!
Andrea Delcore says
I add garlic to everything. I have a giant jar of minced garlic in my fridge at all times. I also have a single head roaster, but I can fit up to 3 smallish heads in and it roasts perfectly in a short time. I can eat those plain but they also make a great ingredient for roast or a spread for garlic bread to go along with any meal.
Rochelle Dickson says
This is great for weekdays and setting a crock-pot timer to come on while you are gone. Sometimes on weekends though I do like to do this dish in the regular oven. This is a tasty version!
Jody Peden says
Garlic goes on everything! Especially beef and potatoes.

Jerry R Thornton says
Never cooked beef and potatoes together in a crock pot before
Nancy Lynch says
This recipe sounds good but I am not a fan of colby jack cheese. I will be using extra sharp shredded cheddar when I make it. I only use red potatoes so I will also have to substitute them. Then to make it a one pot dinner I will add some baby carrots to it. They will not only complete the meal but also add some color to it to make it more eye appealing.
Jane Cadoret says
This is a fantastic recipe. It’s easy and delicious. A little something different because it has potatoes.
Erica says
I only had 2½ lbs of potatoes, so I halved the beef broth. And I only had russet potatoes, so that’s what I used. It turned out great! More potatoes would not have been better. It was perfect! My husband loved it, and so did 3 of my 4 kids. (The little one is ridiculously picky, so that wasn’t too surprising.)
