Crock Pot Cowboy Casserole Recipe

If you need a hearty dinner recipe for the meat and potato lover in the family this Crock Pot Cowboy Casserole recipe is for you!

My version of the Cowboy Casserole is a little different than the one you might be familiar with. This Cowboy Casserole does not have tater tots in it. Instead of using tater tots I used frozen southern style hash browns.

If you wanted to you could use Potatoes O’Brian to add the flavor of green pepper and onions. Or you could even make this Crock Pot Cowboy Casserole recipe with diced potatoes.

Crock Pot Cowboy Casserole reminds me a lot of the Shepherd’s Pie recipe I have been making for my family forever. Except Shepherd’s Pie is made with mashed potatoes.

Crock Pot Cowboy Casserole is perfect for those who love a hearty meat and potatoes meal. Busy Moms who need an easy crock pot recipe will love this crock pot casserole recipe.

If you like to make life easier next time you buy ground beef in bulk brown a couple of pounds, drain well and freezer the pre-cooked ground beef to use in your next ground beef crock pot recipe like this Cowboy Casserole recipe.
