Steps
Prepare the slow cooker by lightly greasing the insert with cooking spray.
Layer the sliced potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker to form Layer One.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, and chopped bell pepper.
Add your preferred seasonings to the beef mixture and mix well to incorporate.
Spread the beef, onion, and pepper mixture over the potatoes to form Layers Two, Three, and Four.
Top the casserole with the canned diced tomatoes, spreading them evenly across the top.
Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the beef is fully cooked.
Notes
This recipe is based on Dolly Parton's famous 5-layer casserole, traditionally made in the oven but adapted here for the slow cooker.
