Crockpot French Onion Beefy Cheese Au Gratin

Ingredients

• 4 Russet potatoes (Use 4 to 5 potatoes; thinly sliced like scalloped potatoes. Skin may be left on or peeled.)
• 1 Sweet onion (Thinly sliced; may be omitted if desired.)
• 2 lb Ground beef (Cooked on the stovetop and excess grease drained.)
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (Referred to in the transcript as “W sauce.”)
• 1 packet Onion soup mix
• 2 tsp Garlic powder (The speaker adds that a little more may be used for good measure.)
• 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream (Milk or half-and-half may be substituted.)
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese (Shredded. The transcript appears to say cheddar, while visible on-screen text identifies Gruyère.)
• Butter (A little butter; amount not stated.)

Steps

1. 1

   Wash 4 to 5 russet potatoes. Leave the skin on or peel them, according to preference.

2. 2

   Thinly slice the potatoes, aiming for scalloped-potato-thin slices. Stand the potatoes upright while slicing if helpful.

3. 3

   Thinly slice one sweet onion. Omit the onion if desired.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the sliced onion over the potatoes.

5. 5

   Brown 2 pounds of ground beef on the stovetop, then drain off the excess grease.

6. 6

   Add the drained cooked ground beef on top of the onions.

7. 7

   In a bowl, combine 1 cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 packet onion soup mix, 2 teaspoons garlic powder plus a little more if desired, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1 cup heavy whipping cream. Milk or half-and-half may be used instead of the cream.

8. 8

   Add 1 cup shredded cheese to the mixture. The visible text identifies Gruyère, while the spoken transcript says cheddar.

9. 9

   Add a little butter, as shown and stated in the source.

Notes

The supplied transcript ends after the butter is added and does not provide the crockpot layering, cooking temperature, cooking duration, or final serving instructions. Those details are therefore not included. The cheese is ambiguous: visible text reads Gruyère, while the transcript says cheddar.
