    Slow Cooker Cowboy Casserole

    Beef
    Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 6 hrs | Servings: Servings: 8

    Ingredients:

    1X 2X 3X
    1 lb. ground beef
    1 large onion, diced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
    15 oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
    15 oz. can diced tomatoes
    10.5 oz. can cream of chicken soup, or cream of mushroom soup
    1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
    1 tsp. salt
    ½ tsp. pepper
    2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

    Directions:

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
    In the bottom of your slow cooker, spread an even layer of the diced potatoes.
    Add the cooked ground beef, onion, and garlic mixture on top of the potatoes.
    Pour in the kidney beans and diced tomatoes, spreading them evenly over the beef mixture.
    In a small bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
    Pour this mixture over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
    Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together nicely.
    About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Replace the lid and allow the cheese to melt.
    Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, the casserole is ready to serve. Scoop portions into bowls or plates. Enjoy!

    Nice. What size is your slow cooker? I need one but was debating on an instapot instead.

      bbqLuv yeah, just wanted to make sure and get the correct size.

      Most instant pots have a slow cooker mode. Mine came with a glass non-pressure lid for use in that mode.

      That recipe web page says she/he used a 6 quart slow cooker, and the photos show the food pretty far down in the cooker. So a 4 quart or 5 quart will likely do.

    Jerod Broussard I looked everywhere but no indication of quantity. It's at least 20 years old. Has served us well. Here is a couple of shots to give you an idea.

      Thanks. I'll compare that size to Instapot sizes.

      Jerod Broussard Instant Pot (IP) comes in 3, 6, and 8 quart. I started off with an 6 but I also have an 8. If I'm making batches of stock I'll use the 8. For most everyday recipes, the 6 is fine. If you use the Instant Pot as a slow cooker, will need to have or buy a round glass lid instead of the usual pressure lid that comes with IP. I had clear lids already so I didn't need to buy and specifically for the IP.

    Jerod Broussard an FYI. What I cooked per the recipe volume wise only filled the cooker a 3rd of capacity.

      Got it. Thanks. I think a 6-7qt will suit me. Ex got the crock pots, what a crock.

    Jerod Broussard we bought a 7 quart Crock Pot brand slow cooker back before the holidays, to replace an old 6 quart Hamilton Beach that had touch controls that were cracked and breaking. I figured the "name brand" slow cooker would be better. And while it works fine on High and Low, the issue is that on the "warm" setting, which is supposed to just keep stuff above 140F.... and which worked on the old one, and on my other old 6 qt with a knob for control - BOILS stuff like it is on high.

    Since I often use crock pots for holding pulled pork and such, a crock pot or slow cooker that doesn't have a properly working "warm" setting just pisses me off... and I have resorted to an older 6 quart we still have that has a rotary knob for High/Low/Warm/Off.

      The link you gave didn't work, but a search of the web site gave this one:

      Slow Cooker Cowboy Casserole - The Magical Slow Cooker

      BTW, did you ever make the cottage cheese and eggs?​

        Funny you should ask about the cottage cheese and eggs. I was planning on that for tomorrow's brunch. I went to look for the cottage cheese and nowhere to be found. I'll ask my wife but apparently was used for something else or given to my daughter. In any case I'm having egg omelette with cheese, onion and green pepper. A side of bacon and an english muffin. Some day it will be done.
