Beef and Potatoes in Crock Pot on High

This Slow Cooker Beef and Potato Au Gratin is an easy from-scratch hearty meal!

I love a hearty one-pot meal in the slow cooker like this one and my Seasoned Chicken and Veggies Recipe or Homestyle Pot Roast Dinner.

I can eat au gratin potatoes by the plate full! I decided to add ground beef to homemade potatoes au gratin and came up with this fabulous hearty meal.

I really enjoyed creating this recipe. I knew that the potatoes would need some heavy seasoning, so I went heavy with the salt and pepper, but also added garlic powder, paprika and parsley.

The potatoes go in the slow cooker peeled, though I don't mind skin on for most recipes this one tastes great without.

How to make Beef and Potato Au Gratin in the crockpot:

• Brown ground beef on the stovetop, add salt and pepper to taste.
• Peel russet potatoes and lay them on the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
• In a small bowl combine the paprika, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Add half of the potatoes in the slow cooker. Sprinkle over half of the onions, half of the seasonings, half of the meat, and half of the cheese. Repeat the layers again.
• Drizzle over the broth.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours. (see full recipe below)

Can I use bacon instead of ground beef?

Yes! Brown one package (12-16 ounces) of bacon, crumble and use in place of the beef in this recipe.

Can I use a different type of potato?

Use any type of potato in this recipe just be sure to thinly slice them.
