Hamburger Potato Casserole

Instructions

1. Brown the beef and onions. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onions until fully browned. Drain any excess liquid.
2. Layer the casserole. In the slow cooker, place the diced potatoes at the bottom. Top with the cooked beef and onion mixture.
3. Prepare the sauce. In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour evenly over the beef and potatoes.
4. Slow cook. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or high for 4–5 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
5. Add the topping. About 1 hour before serving, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and bread crumbs evenly over the top.
6. Finish cooking. Cover again and allow the cheese to melt into a golden, bubbly layer.
