We have adapted it to the slow cooker – please pay close attention to cooking times.

Because of timing, this might be better to slow cook on the weekend, or one a day you’ll be home in the early afternoon.

Or it would make a great lunch for after church.

It’s a few simple ingredients, cooked to perfection in the slow cooker.

Here’s how to make slow cooker hashbrown beef bake…

Add hashbrowns (fresh or frozen), cream of mushroom soup, browned ground beef, seasoning, and milk.

Give it a swirl and mix together…

Flatten it out and put the lid on.

Cook on high for 2 hours, or low for 4 hours.

If you need to cook it longer, I would mix in 1/2 cup beef broth to add some liquid to the slow cooker.

About 10 minutes before cooking cycle ends, it will look like this.

Add the shredded cheese.

And cook for 10-20 more minutes.

Spoon and serve right out of the slow cooker!

Enjoy!
