Slow Cooker Dolly’s 5-Layer Dinner

Ingredients

• 1 lb potatoes (sliced into rounds)
• 1 lb ground beef (lean)
• 1 onion (chopped)
• 1 bell pepper (chopped)
• seasonings (such as salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste)
• 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes (undrained)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the slow cooker by lightly greasing the insert with cooking spray.

2. 2

   Layer the sliced potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker to form Layer One.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, and chopped bell pepper.

4. 4

   Add your preferred seasonings to the beef mixture and mix well to incorporate.

5. 5

   Spread the beef, onion, and pepper mixture over the potatoes to form Layers Two, Three, and Four.

6. 6

   Top the casserole with the canned diced tomatoes, spreading them evenly across the top.

7. 7

   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.
