  • Total Time: 4 hours 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 1 pound (approximately 450 grams) ground beef

– 2 cloves minced garlic

– 1 ounce packet taco seasoning

– 10.5 ounces (about 298 grams) cheddar cheese soup

– 30 ounces (approximately 850 grams) frozen shredded hashbrowns (country style, must remain frozen)

– 2 cups shredded taco-style cheese, divided

Instructions

1-Begin by pulling together your ingredients to make the process smooth and fun it’s all about that hands-off cooking magic.

2-First, brown the ground beef with the minced garlic and drain the excess fat to keep things light and flavorful.

3-Next, in a large bowl, combine the browned beef, taco seasoning, cheddar cheese soup, frozen hashbrowns, and 1 cup of shredded cheese for a creamy mixture that’s ready to go.

4-Then, pour the mixture into a lightly greased 6-quart crock pot or casserole slow cooker, and top it with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.

5-Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 2.5 hours until it’s bubbly and the cheese is melted.

6-Optionally, if your slow cooker is oven-safe, place it under the broiler on high for about 90 seconds to brown the cheese on top for that extra crunch.

7-First Step: Prepare all ingredients by chopping onions wait, in this recipe, we have minced garlic already, so focus on that for prep.

8-Second Step: Brown the ground beef or turkey in a skillet until fully cooked and drain excess fat.

9-Third Step: In the crock pot, combine the cooked meat, frozen hashbrowns, cheddar cheese soup, taco seasoning, and part of the cheese; mix well.

10-Fourth Step: Spread evenly and top with the rest of the cheese.

11-Fifth Step: Set your cooker and let it do its thing.

12-Final Step: Once done, serve it up it’s that simple!

Notes

๐Ÿฅ” Keep the hashbrowns frozen when adding to the mixture – this prevents them from becoming mushy and maintains their texture during slow cooking
๐Ÿง€ Add extra cheese for enhanced flavor – you can increase the total amount to 3 cups for an even more decadent result
โฐ Adjust cooking times based on your specific slow cooker model – some cook faster or slower, so check for doneness occasionally
