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.
