Substitutions
Instructions
- Prep StepsPeel and dice the potatoes into ½-inch chunks. Chop the onion.
- Cooking StepsBrown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Layer potatoes, onions, and cooked beef in the crockpot in that order. In a bowl, mix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the layered ingredients. Cover and cook:
- LOW for 6–7 hours
- HIGH for 3–4 hours
30 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Cover again until melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Storage & ReheatingStore in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave with a splash of broth or milk to maintain creaminess. Freeze leftovers in individual portions for up to 2 months.
