Slow Cooker Hamburger Potato Casserole Recipe

This easy hamburger casserole is made with convenient ingredients. The instant mashed potato topping makes this layered dinner similar to a cottage pie. The recipe is an adaptation of one from a rival recipe brochure. The original recipe used mashed potato flakes and much more sour cream. Since some instant potatoes take more water and/or milk per cup of flakes, we prepare them following the package directions. If you decide to make homemade mashed potatoes, make them with about 4 to 5 medium potatoes and add sour cream to them before you spread them over the ground beef.
