Yummy Crockpot Cowboy Cásserole

There áre severál recipes thát I only know my husbánd would like, ánd Crock Pot Cowboy Cásserole fálls strongly in thát cátegory. The náme of the dish screámed meát ánd potátoes, ánd the ingredients returned well. When tomátoes, spices, ánd red beáns áre ádded it turns into á child of love from báked potátoes ánd chili, ánd then you reálly háve no choice but to deál with it with cheese.

I máde this dish when my párents-in-láw visited, ánd we áll loved it. Becáuse my mother-in-láw is á founding member of Crock Pot on Thursdáy, ánd prides herself on not háving missed á weekly recipe, she pláns to máke this in her own kitchen soon. We ágree thát chili will be delicious if repláced with red beáns, so if you áre looking for á little more of your recipe, try thát modificátion.

I use mozzárellá cheese becáuse thát's whát I háve, but cheddár, Monterrey jáck, or Colby jáck cheese will be very good on this cásserole.

My 3.5 Quárt Crock-Pot Cásserole Slow Cooker is perfect for this recipe, but every type of slow cooker will work well.

Updáte: Básed on reáder feedbáck (thánks to everyone who commented!) I háve updáted the instructions to highlight the importánce of soáking ánd máshing potátoes generously when they use slow cookers. Potátoes áre blánd without seásoning, ánd without this step, the dish will become á bummer. If you áre looking for more táco-type flávors, ádd á few táco spices, chili powder, or cumin to beef when the color is brown.
