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!

      I would like to know if you can cook this on high instead of low. Has anyone tried it?

        I made a double batch so I’m cooking mine on high. I’ll let you know how it goes.

      Hi Sarah……..you think I could use frozen hash browns? If so, would the cook time change? Thanks!

        You wouldn’t have to cook as long. I think it would work though.

      Like the author says in response to one of the reviews here, if your slow cooker isn’t up to par you’ll have to boil the potatoes before beginning the recipe. I took mine out after about 7 hours and had to boil them separately in some beef broth, but it turned out pretty good. Definitely going to be investing in a better slow cooker, though.

      This was an amazing, yet simple recipe! Probably the best thing I’ve yet made in my slow cooker. Only thing I had to pick up at the store were the two cans of cream of mushroom soup. My son even loved it and he’s a notoriously picky eater.. Thank you so much!!

      Just made this for supper and its so good. We used gluten free mushroom soup but everything else the same. Would definitely make it again. So easy too. Reminds me of hamburger helper but much more healthier. Cooked on low for 6 1/2 hours and potatoes were perfect.

      Wow!

      Bet you added water to the condensed soup, because there is nothing in this recipe to make it runny! Also, if this reminded you of beef stroganoff, that’s odd, because even hamburger stroganoff doesn’t have potatoes or cheddar cheese!

      I absolutely love this recipe, only issue i have is that it takes almost 3 times the amount of cooking time that is in the instructions. Ive done 8 hours and my potatoes are still hard and not done. In total it takes around 15 hours to fully cook them. Ive tried cutting the potatoes smaller, just a tad bigger than hashbrown size, as well as used two different slow cookers (one being an actual slow cooker the other in my instant pot on slow cooker setting). The only way for the potatoes to be done in 5 hours is to boil the potatoes previous to placing them into the slow cooker…

        Hi! Your slow cooker may cook very slow, I’ve tested this recipe many times and so have others. I would cook everything on high, or get a new one.

      I’ve made this a few times now and the family likes it a lot. I did modify it a little and only do one can of Cream of Mushroom soup, because I was afraid it would get to runny. Turns out great for a warm meal on a cold day.

      We made this and followed the recipe, and it’s literally the consistency of soup. It has NO flavor. Plus, it tastes like a cheap, knock off version of beef stroganoff. Our family just couldn’t eat because it was so gross. We are literally going to get something out because we are starving and don’t have anything else prepared.

        You obviously didn’t make it right! I made it exactly like it says and it’s not soupy at all! That was the whole point of this recipe she was trying to make. It’s a great meal and if your whole family didn’t eat it because it was as you described “gross” you should probably throw in the apron on cooking lol!!!
