Slow Cooker Beef and Potato Au Gratin
This sounds really good, only expensive part would be the cheese.
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 1/2 kilos potatoes, sliced, 1/4 inch thick
- 1 cup white onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup beef broth, fresh or from powder
- salt and pepper, to taste, for seasoning the beef
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef on the stove top, season with salt and pepper to your liking, drain well and set aside.
- In a small bowl while the beef is browning, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Add half of the sliced potatoes to your slow cooker in a layer, add half of the onion in a layer, sprinkle over half of the seasoning mix, add half of the ground beef in a layer, add half of the cheese in a layer. Repeat the layers again. Drizzle the broth evenly over the top.
- Cover and cook on High setting for 4 hours without opening the cover, opening the cover releases steam which is needed to properly cook the potatoes through.
- Serve with a vegetable for a complete meal.
Notes
The ground beef will cost about 100 Baht/500 grams. The cheese, figure 180 Baht/250 grams (I would just go with a 250 gram block and shred that, about 100 grams in a cup, this would be 2 1/2 cups, fair enough). For 6 servings, this is about $1.37 per serving.
