Equipment

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (cooked)
1 yellow onion (diced)
2 tsp garlic (minced)
28 oz diced potatoes
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
1 can cheddar cheese soup
½ cup sour cream
1 tbsp taco seasoning
2½ cups cheddar cheese (shredded and divided)

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef, onions, and garlic. Cook until meat is completely browned. Drain off excess grease and add to the Crock Pot.
Add potatoes, cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, taco seasoning, and 2 cups of cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2½ hours.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top and continue to cook for 15 minutes.
Serve with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor and texture, brown the ground beef until it gets a nice caramelized crust. This extra step adds tons of depth and flavor to the meat and takes your casserole to the next level.
Use a hot taco seasoning or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick if you want to make the casserole spicy.
For that perfect Mexican flavor, top the casserole with your favorite toppings like sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or even a dollop of sour cream.
