Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
Step 2
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add these to the slow cooker as well.
Step 3
Layer the sliced potatoes evenly over the beef and onion mixture in the slow cooker.
Step 4
Add the sliced carrots and frozen peas on top of the potatoes, spreading them evenly.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the layers in the slow cooker.
Step 6
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Step 7
About 10 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole. Cover and let cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Step 8
Serve the casserole warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
