Slow Cooker Cottage Pie

A cottage pie recipe for the slow cooker.

3 medium russet potatoes
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 teaspoon beef flavor concentrate
1 can (14-15 oz) green beans, drained
shredded cheddar cheese, for topping

Spray slow cooker/Crock Pot with cooking spray. Scrub about 3 medium russet potatoes and cut into smallish chunks, leaving the skin on. (If you cut the potatoes into too large a size pieces, they will take too long to cook since everything else is basically done.) This made one layer on the bottom of my 5-quart slow cooker/Crock Pot.
Season potatoes with salt, pepper and garlic powder to your own taste.
Brown 1 pound of ground beef with 1/2 chopped onion, drain fat. Put on top of spuds. Mix one can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup with 1 tsp beef concentrate flavor or base. Drain one 14 or 15 ounce can of cut green beans and put in slow cooker/Crock Pot. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours, stirring a couple of times. Turn to low and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and cook for 30 minutes or so.
Makes 4 servings.
