Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 packets taco seasoning, divided
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 32 oz frozen diced potatoes
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (or any cream-style soup)
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (sharp cheddar + pepper jack recommended)

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef with onion and garlic. In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the meat is fully cooked and the onions are soft. Drain excess fat.
  2. Season the beef. Stir in one packet of taco seasoning and the 1/3 cup water, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Layer ingredients in the crockpot. Place frozen diced potatoes as the first layer. Add the beef mixture, cream of chicken soup, salsa, and remaining taco seasoning. Stir gently.
  4. Cook slowly. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  5. Add cheese and serve. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and allow it to melt for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a browner cheese top, transfer a portion to an oven-safe dish and broil briefly.
