10 Layer Crock Pot Dinner
by Norma Saltzman
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 6 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 15oz can of corn, undrained
- 15oz can of peas, undrained
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
As with any recipe, you can decide if you prefer fat free mushroom soup, low sodium, or regular. I only can suggest but you can make the ultimate decision. The same goes for the quality of the ground beef, it is up to your family.
- Brown the ground beef and then you are going to create layers in your crock pot.
- Layer 1- 1/4 of the potatoes, mixed with 1/2 of the onions, salt and pepper
- Layer 2- 1/2 the can of corn
- Layer 3- 1/4 of the potatoes
- Layer 4- 1/2 of the can of peas
- Layer 5- 1/4 of the potatoes, mixed with 1/2 of the onions, salt and pepper
- Layer 6- Remaining corn
- Layer 7- remaining potatoes
- Layer 8- remaining peas and water
- Layer 9- ground beef
- Layer 10- mushroom soup
- Cover and cook on high for 4 hours
This is always a huge hit with the kids and it so easy to make.
