Step 1

Place a large skillet on a stove over medium-high heat, then add the ground beef, and break it apart. Cook it until nice and brown, then add the diced onion, and keep cooking until translucent.

Step 2

Drain off any excess grease, then turn off the heat, and remove the pan from the stove. Now, add in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then stir everything until well combined, and set the mixture aside.

Step 3

Assemble half of the sliced potatoes to the bottom of a greased or lined crockpot in a flat year, then pour half of the ground beef mixture over the potatoes, and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top.

Step 4

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, ground beef mixture, and shredded cheese. Cover the crockpot with the lid, then let it cook on a low setting for about 6 to 8 hours or a high setting for about 3 to 4 hours until the potatoes are fork-tender. Serve and enjoy!
