Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 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 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups sliced potatoes (about 1.5 pounds)

 

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)

Instructions

  • Brown the Beef:

    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic until the meat is browned and onions are soft.
    • Drain any excess fat.

  • Transfer to Slow Cooker:

    • Add the cream of mushroom soup, milk, kidney beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
    • Stir everything together.

  • Add Potatoes:

    • Layer in the sliced potatoes, ensuring they are well coated with the beef and bean mixture.

  • Slow Cook:

    • Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, depending on your time.

 

  • Add Cheese:

    • In the last 20 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and let it melt before serving.

Notes

  • Use Different Beans: Swap kidney beans for black beans or pinto beans for variety.
  • Make it Spicier: Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use a non-dairy cream soup and omit the cheese.

 

  • Cheese Variations: Try pepper jack, Colby, or a Mexican blend for different flavors.
