Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients. Make sure everything is prepped and ready to go.
  2. Chop vegetables uniformly for even cooking. Consistent size ensures even doneness.
  3. Rinse and drain canned beans to reduce salt. This helps control the sodium content of the dish.
  4. Brown ground beef in a skillet, then drain excess fat. Cooking the beef adds flavor to the dish.
  5. Layer in slow cooker: start with potatoes, then add beef, vegetables, and beans.
  6. Mix cream, broth, and spices; pour over layers. This creates a flavorful sauce for the casserole.
  7. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Slow cooking allows the flavors to meld together.
