Here’s a simple, hearty slow cooker casserole built around that idea—rich, comforting, and very “everyone asks for seconds” 😄
🥘 Creamy Slow Cooker Ground Beef Casserole
Ingredients (5 total):
- 1 lb (450g) raw ground beef
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup uncooked pasta (elbow or rotini work great)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
Optional add-ins (if you want extra flavor):
- Chopped onion or garlic
- Salt, pepper, paprika
👩🍳 Instructions
- Add raw beef to the slow cooker and break it up slightly.
- Pour in the cream of mushroom soup over the beef.
- Add uncooked pasta, milk, and half the cheese.
- Stir everything together well.
- Cover and cook:
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
- About 20 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and let it melt.
🔥 Tips
- No need to brown the beef first—this recipe is designed to go in raw.
- If it gets too thick, add a splash of milk near the end.
- You can swap pasta for sliced potatoes or rice for a different twist.
It comes out creamy, cheesy, and super filling—basically comfort food in a bowl. Want a version with veggies or a spicier kick?
