Slow Cooker Hamburger Hash

when everyone is craving cozy home cooking. It tastes just like the kind of meal my grandma used to serve after a long day outside.

Ingredients

Ground beef: Choose fresh with bright color and little liquid for best flavor and texture
White onion: Milder than yellow onion and adds gentle sweetness
Salt and pepper: These seasonings round out all the savory flavors
Garlic powder: Delivers a hint of earthy depth without the bite of raw garlic
Cream of mushroom soup: Look for one with lots of visible mushroom bits for added richness and creaminess
Corn: Go for canned corn that looks plump and vibrant not faded great for popping sweet bursts into every bite
Russet potatoes: Their starchy texture breaks down just enough for a creamy base pick ones that feel heavy and firm with no green spots or wrinkles
Sharp cheddar cheese: Adds creaminess and a sharp punch use freshly shredded from a block for the best melt

Brown the Meat:: Brown the ground beef and diced onion in a large skillet on medium high heat Stir well and cook until the beef is no longer pink about 6 minutes Drain off all excess fat to keep the hash from turning greasy
Prep the Potatoes:: Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly Dice into small half inch cubes keeping the skins on for extra flavor and nutrients Place all the potatoes right into the bottom of your slow cooker forming an even layer
Layer and Mix:: Pour the cooked beef and onion mixture over the potatoes Add the cream of mushroom soup salt pepper garlic powder drained corn and half the shredded cheese Use a large spoon to combine everything well and spread it all out evenly in the crock
Slow Cook:: Cover your slow cooker and set it on low Heat for five hours without lifting the lid This time lets the potatoes soften the flavors meld and the mixture thicken to a creamy hash
Cheese Finish:: After five hours sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese evenly across the hash Replace the lid and let it sit for about ten minutes so the cheese gets gooey and melted all over
