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, steak, potatoes and corn, 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!

      Will a doubled recipe work in a large crockpot for a large gathering? Thanks!

        It should work fine, you may need a little longer for the potatoes to get tender.

      Made this with can of cheddar soup and 1 can of cream of mushroom.Did not use the shredded cheese in the mix. My husband is on a soft diet so I peeled the potatoes and substituted carrots for corn. Turned out great, Used some nacho cheese on top because I didn’t have enough of the cheddar.
      Can this be frozen?

        Potatoes tend to change texture in the freezer, so I prefer not to freeze this.

      I followed this recipe exact and no matter what the potatoes stayed hard and I used russet equally cut in 1/2” squares. And the sharp cheddar cheese gave it such a bitterness. I use my Crock Pot constantly and this recipe was not good.

        Try frozen diced hashbrowns and mild cheddar. I even switch out cream of mushroom for cream of chicken. Hope that helps

      I’d love to make this at the hunting camp, but no electric. Just a gas stove. Or wood burning grill. Can this be done on stove top?

        It’s really hard to soften potaotes on the stovetop in a thick liquid. Maybe if you parboiled the potatoes first?

      Love this recipe, wonder if I could do it with tater tots or hashbrowns and if so what volume should I get and would it alter the cook time?

      Do you have to brown the meat first? The ground beef i have is lean and will not produce any grease, I may even need to add oil or something?

        Hard to say without testing it first. I apologize. Even though it’s lean meat, it may add water to the sauce and make it runny.

      Made this and the family loved it; filled the big j by its right up!
      I was wondering, since I don’t always plan ahead, is this something that could be made in the instant pot? I’d so would the ingredients need to be altered or liquid added?

        I think you’d have to add more liquid. And that my turn it into a soup, so I’m unsure how good that would be.
