groundbeef

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 cups diced potatoes
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Instructions:

1. Brown the Ground Beef:
   • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
2. Prepare the Crock Pot:
   • Grease the inside of your crock pot to prevent sticking.
3. Combine Ingredients in the Crock Pot:
   • Transfer the browned ground beef to the crock pot.
   • Add diced potatoes, taco seasoning, and undrained diced tomatoes to the crock pot. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
4. Cook in the Crock Pot:
   • Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 4-5 hours. This will allow the potatoes to cook through and absorb the delicious taco flavors.
5. Check for Doneness:
   • After 4-5 hours, check the potatoes for tenderness. They should be easily pierced with a fork.
6. Top with Shredded Cheese:
   • Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole during the last 15-30 minutes of cooking. Cover the crock pot and allow the cheese to melt.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Once the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted, your Crock Pot Beefy Potatoes Taco Casserole is ready to be served.
   • Spoon generous portions onto plates and garnish with your favorite taco toppings, such as sour cream, chopped green onions, or diced avocado.
