Slow Cooker Hamburger Hash (Print Version)

Ground beef, potatoes, cheese, and corn combine for a flavorful slow-cooker meal.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1 cup diced white onion
03 - 1.5 pounds russet potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

→ Seasonings

04 - 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Additions

07 - 22 ounces cream of mushroom soup
08 - 1.5 cups canned corn, thoroughly drained
09 - 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

# Steps:

01 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef with diced onion until meat is cooked through. Drain excess fat before proceeding.
02 - Rinse and pat dry russet potatoes, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes, leaving the skin intact for added texture and nutrients.
03 - Transfer cubed potatoes to the slow cooker. Layer with cooked beef and onion mixture. Add cream of mushroom soup, fine salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, drained corn, and half of the shredded Cheddar cheese. Stir gently to combine and spread evenly.
04 - Cover and cook on the low setting for 5 hours, keeping the lid closed throughout to ensure even cooking.
05 - Uncover and sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese over the surface. Cover again and allow to stand for 10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Leaving the potato skins on enhances both flavor and nutritional value.
