Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasoning

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 oz packet taco seasoning

Dairy and Soup

  • 10.5 oz cheddar cheese soup
  • 2 cups shredded taco style cheese, divided

Other Ingredients

  • 30 oz frozen shredded hashbrowns

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with minced garlic until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into crumbles.
  2. Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning packet with the cooked beef, mixing well to evenly coat the meat with spices.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In the crock pot, combine the cooked beef mixture, frozen shredded hashbrowns, cheddar cheese soup, and 1 cup of the shredded taco style cheese. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  4. Cook in Crock Pot: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the hashbrowns are tender.
  5. Add Remaining Cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded taco style cheese on top. Cover again and let the cheese melt.
  6. Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, serve the casserole hot. Optionally garnish with sour cream, diced tomatoes, or sliced jalapeños for extra flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • If you prefer, add diced onions or bell peppers to the beef during cooking for extra veggies.
  • Make sure to thaw the hashbrowns slightly if your crock pot runs hot to avoid overcooking on the edges.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in the microwave.
  • To add a bit of a crunchy topping, sprinkle crushed tortilla chips just before serving.
