Certainly! Here’s the recipe for Taco Crockpot Hash Brown Casserole:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (10.75 oz) cheddar cheese soup
- 30 oz frozen shredded hashbrowns
- 2 cups shredded taco style cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- Optional toppings: sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole, for serving
Instructions:
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
- Season the Meat: Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked ground beef. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed and the meat is well coated.
- Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot to prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot: In the prepared crockpot, combine the seasoned ground beef, cheddar cheese soup, frozen shredded hashbrowns, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded taco style cheese. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
- Cooking Time: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for about 4 hours. Crockpot cooking times can vary, so you can check the casserole after 3 hours to see if it’s fully heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Add Cheese Topping: About 15-20 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the top of the casserole. Cover and let it melt.
- Serve: Once the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through, you can serve your Taco Crockpot Hash Brown Casserole hot. Optionally, you can top individual servings with sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for added flavor and freshness.
Enjoy this delicious and hearty casserole with a taco twist! 🌮😋
