Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6–8 hours (low) or 4 hours (high)
Servings: 4–6
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions:
1. Brown the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small crumbles. Drain excess fat. Stir in garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Transfer seasoned beef to your slow cooker.
2. Add the Veggies and Soup
To the slow cooker, add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, thawed peas and carrots, and cream of mushroom soup. Pour in the beef broth and stir until everything is well combined.
3. Slow Cook
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender and all the flavors have melded together.
4. Optional: Add Cheese
If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top during the last 10–15 minutes of cooking. Cover again and let it melt into the dish for a gooey, cheesy finish.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Give the hash a gentle stir and serve hot. It’s satisfying on its own, but also pairs beautifully with a green salad or warm bread.
Tips & Variations:
- Spice it up: Add red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce for a bit of heat.
- Change the veggies: Swap in corn, green beans, or bell peppers based on what you have.
- Creamier option: Use half cream of mushroom and half cream of celery soup for an extra-rich flavor.
