Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef, browned and drained
• 4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom (or cream of chicken) soup
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Brown the beef. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
2. Layer the slow cooker. Place the diced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker, followed by the browned ground beef.
3. Add the soup. Spread the condensed soup evenly over the beef and potatoes, gently mixing just enough to distribute it without fully stirring everything together.
4. Cook. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
5. Add the cheese. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking, allowing it to melt fully.
6. Stir and serve. Give everything a gentle stir before serving hot.
