Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the Ground Beef and Onion: In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion, sautéing for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove from heat.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and thinly slice the potatoes into about 1/8-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
  3. Layer Ingredients in the Crockpot: Start with a layer of half the sliced potatoes at the bottom, followed by half of the cooked beef mixture and some cheddar cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  4. Mix the Sauce: Whisk together cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour sauce over layers in the crockpot.
  5. Slow Cook the Casserole: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until potatoes are tender and top is golden.
  6. Add Cheddar Cheese: In the last 15 minutes, sprinkle remaining cheese on top and replace lid to melt.
  7. Garnish and Serve: After cooking, let settle, garnish with parsley or chives, and serve.
