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.
