Hamburger hash in the crockpot has tender potatoes, beef, and corn in a creamy mushroom sauce then topped with cheese.
We love meat and potato recipes that stick to our ribs. Also, try our steak and potato soup recipe or our classic pot roast dinner.
I have a fun recipe for you today. This Slow Cooker Hamburger Hash recipe turns out fantastic! Tender Potatoes, sauce, meat, corn, and cheese. This recipe is a keeper! It reminds me of my Tater Tot Casserole Recipe on the blog, but with fresh-cut potatoes instead of tots, and corn instead of green beans.
I tested this recipe a few times before I came up with the version below, my husband liked them all, me not so much. The first time I made it without the cream of mushroom, and used beef broth and a can of diced tomatoes and oregano for seasoning. That time it turned out like soup.
The second time, I used less of the broth and tomatoes; the flavor was blah. The recipe that I ended up loving that I am sharing here has two cans of cream of mushroom, and I don’t add any water. The hash turned out very flavorful and thick. I topped this meal with sharp cheddar cheese, and that made it over the top good, pure comfort food!
How to make Hamburger Hash:
You will need these ingredients:
- Ground beef
- White onion
- Salt and pepper
- Garlic powder
- Cream of mushroom soup (do not add water)
- Can of Corn
- Russet Potatoes

Directions:
- Brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet on the stove top. Add the potatoes to the slow cooker.

Scoop into bowls and serve. I don’t serve anything with this meal it’s that good! It’s a complete hearty meal. Enjoy.

I also add Worchester Sauce, maybe a Tablespoon or so. I have also replaced the potatoes with Tater Tots instead of the potatoes placing them on the top of the casserole dish in the oven.
Followed directions and potatoes are still hard.. almost 8 hrs later. My cooker doesn’t usually cook slow and potatoes are cut small
If you kept the lid on the entire time, your slow cooker probably cooks very low. Try cooking things on high.
Use golden potatoes, not russet. I made today and it came out perfectly delicious..
Will cream corn work? I accidentally bought the wrong kind.
Yes, cream corn will work fine.
Hi, , Just made this recipe yesterday, very simple to make and absolutely delicious. Will definitely make this again. Very Good! Thankyou!
I’m really excited to try this recipe. I read a comment that stated the potatoes were hard after following the entire recipe. Has anyone tried boiling the potatoes for a little while to help soften them up? Just curious.
I just made this and I boiled my potatoes till just a little soft. Looking forward to eating this for our dinner tonight.
This was delicious! I only had one can of soup in the house but I was excited to make the recipe, so after I cooked and crumbled the beef, I kept the fat in the pan and threw in some flour and then later broth and milk to make a gravy. I added salt/pepper to taste to be sure it would taste close to a “cream of” soup before adding the can of soup I had and then following the rest of the recipe. This came out so awesome, I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for a great, yummy recipe!
This was an instant hit in our household!!
It has become one of our favorites. Just started the crockpot to have it for dinner. Made it several times and do understand those who say the potatoes are not done, always turned out great. Thanks for recipe.
Followed exactly – potatoes were HARD 🙁
Your slow cooker must cook slow. You’ll need to adjust times on any recipe you make.
Hi Sarah, love your recipes. I was looking for the comment box, but couldn’t find it, so I’m replying to your comment, lol. My question is, can I use smoked, skinless sausage in place of ground beef? Thank you.
I think that would work great. I think that’s a great variation.
Or maybe you cut your potatoes to large.
Great recipe. Very adaptable. I am vegetarian so I used Impossible brand beef and added it a bit later in the process. I also skipped the corn. It tastes incredible. I think I will try this with bell peppers the next time I make it and maybe add a touch of spice with some red pepper or jalepeno.
OH and I forgot to add, instead of the corn, I used sliced mushrooms. I added them about halfway through and it was perfect timing.
This recipe is better with cream of chicken as weird as that is it gives it a creamier, richer taste.
I’ve switched out plain Cream of Mushroom for the Cream of Mushroom with Garlic variety in most of my recipes – and it’s even better. Will try that here too!
u are so right about the cream of mushroom with garlic.
Thank you for all the great recipes. You have saved the day when I didn’t have a clue what to make for dinner. When I say your recipes saved the day, I mean your recipes have saved my butt many times! I’m in the market for another
Slow cooker to make more than one meal at a time. I made the hamburger hash today and it was terrific!
