Make this easy and complete Six Layer dinner in the slow cooker. Filled with potatoes, veggies and beef with a creamy sauce.

Scoop of potato, meat and vegetable casserole from slow cooker.

I found this recipe in an old cookbook called: Amish Country Cookbook Volume 2. The recipe I found for Six Layer Dinner in this book was not a slow cooker recipe, but I thought it would do well in the slow cooker. It’s a fairly healthy recipe that is full of veggies.

How to make Slow Cooker Six Layer Dinner:

Here are the layers to make this hearty layered dish:

  • Ground beef – cooked crumbled and seasoned with salt, pepper and onion powder
  • White onion – sliced
  • Celery – sliced
  • Carrots – sliced
  • Russet potatoes – THINLY sliced
  • Cream of celery soup – Mix with 3/4 cup milk

Can I use another soup besides cream of celery?

Of course! You can use any of these options:

  • Cream of Chicken with herbs
  • Cream of Bacon
  • Cream of Mushroom
Sliced potatoes, carrots, meat, onions and sauce in slow cooker.

Can I use a different vegetable than carrots?

Yes, if you would like you can use one of these vegetables:

  • Canned or fresh green beans.
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Bell peppers
  • Corn

What a fun recipe to try it’s a cozy casserole that you will enjoy!

      My kids grew up on this recipe. When my husband was home for this dinner, I substituted Campbell’s tomato soup and peeled the potatoes. So good. Thanks for the memories.

      Just turned the crock pot on filled with above recipe. Can’t wait to spoon cooked content in a bowl and enjoy. I did add some thyme and rosemary so we’ll see.

      Watching my sodium, I would just use cream cheese or sour cream instead of the soup.

      Campbell’s makes a creamy beefy mushroom soup that adds an amazing flavor to beef dishes; that’s what I’m going to try! This looks scrumptious!
