Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 can (15 ounce) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (10.5 ounce) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat, then transfer the browned beef to your slow cooker.
2. In the slow cooker, add the diced potatoes, frozen peas, diced onion, diced tomatoes, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good stir to combine.
3. Cover the slow cooker and cook the Slow Cooker Hamburger Hash on low for 6-7 hours, or until the potatoes are tender. The low and slow cooking method ensures the beef stays juicy and the potatoes get perfectly soft.
4. About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the hash. Cover and let the cheese melt, then give the mixture a gentle stir to incorporate the melted cheese.
5. Once the cheese is melted, your Slow Cooker Hamburger Hash is ready to serve! Scoop it up and enjoy this hearty, comforting meal.

Use lean ground beef to avoid excess grease in the final dish.
Dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Feel free to swap in ground turkey or Italian sausage for the beef.
Add diced bell peppers or other veggies to boost the nutrition.
