Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel)
- 4 medium potatoes, sliced into thin rounds
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt

Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant. Drain excess fat.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cooked beef mixture, beans, corn, diced tomatoes, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Lightly grease your slow cooker. Layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom, then spoon half of the beef mixture on top. Repeat layers once more.
- Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or until the potatoes are tender and flavors have blended beautifully.
- In the last 15 minutes, sprinkle cheese over the top, cover again, and let it melt into the casserole.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
