Amish Shipwreck Casserole Slow Cooker
Ingredients
-
2 pounds ground beef (80-85% lean)
-
6 to 2 1/2 pounds medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced into thin slices (approximately 2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
-
2 (10.5-ounce) cans of condensed tomato soup
-
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
-
1 teaspoon salt (kosher or to taste)
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
-
1/2 cup water (okay, to make the sauce looser)
-
Cooking spray, nonstick or a small amount of butter, to grease the slow cooker
Amish Shipwreck Casserole: Instructions
-
Add a little nonstick cooking oil or a small amount of butter to the inside of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker to prevent sticking of the potatoes.
-
Evenly spread the raw ground beef on the bottom of the slow cooker, using your fingers to tear the meat into an even blanket. Sprinkle the salt and the pepper.
-
Scatter the chopped onion evenly on the ground beef in such a manner that it makes a thin blanket on the ground beef.
-
Pour the condensed tomato soup in a bowl or a large measuring cup, and mix it with the water (when it is used), until it is rather smooth. This prevents the clumping of the soup during cooking.
-
The sliced potatoes should be put in the slow cooker overlapping with the beef and onions like roofing shingling. Keep adding layers until all the potatoes are added and be sure that the beef is fully covered.
-
Slowly pour the tomato soup mixture over the top of the potatoes letting it drip between the slices. It can be spread by the use of the back of a spoon to cover most of the potatoes.
-
Place the lid on top of the slow cooker and cook, either on LOW 6-7 hours, or on HIGH 3 1/2 to 4 hours until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork and the beef has been cooked through.
-
After cooked, test some of the sauce and add a touch more salt and pepper as required. Scoop down into layers and serve, being careful not to leave a part of the beef, potatoes, onions, and tomato gravy behind.
