4 helpful tips to make your Slow Cooker Hamburger & Potato Casserole even better:

1. Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
   These types hold up well during slow cooking and add a creamy, hearty texture without getting too mushy.
2. Brown your beef well
   Don’t just cook the beef—let it brown slightly. That adds a deeper, richer flavor to the casserole.
3. Add veggies for extra nutrition
   You can toss in some frozen peas, corn, or diced carrots for color and a nutritional boost without changing the flavor too much.
4. Crisp up the top (optional)
   If you want a crispy, golden top, transfer the cooked casserole to a baking dish, add extra cheese and breadcrumbs, and broil for a few minutes before serving.
