Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef or ground sausage, browned and drained
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 diced onion
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups chicken broth or beef broth
- 1.5 cups uncooked macaroni noodles
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Start by browning the ground beef or sausage in a saucepan over medium heat, then drain any excess fat. This step ensures a flavorful base for your slow cooker casserole.
Lightly grease your slow cooker with cooking spray or butter. Add the cooked meat, diced onion, cream of mushroom soup, and diced potatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set your slow cooker to high and cook for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, pour in the chicken broth or beef broth and add the uncooked macaroni noodles. Stir gently to ensure the noodles are submerged. Cover and continue cooking on high for another 30 minutes.
Once the noodles are tender, mix in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and the sour cream. Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Cover and let cook for an additional 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
