Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
Cook and drain the ground beef in a skillet. Slice the bell peppers and onion, and dice the potatoes
into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Layer in Crockpot
Spray the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. Place half of the diced potatoes in the bottom,
then layer half of the cooked ground beef, half of the peppers and onions, and half of the seasonings.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
Step 3: Cook
Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until potatoes are tender and
vegetables are cooked through.
Step 4: Add Cheese
About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top. Cover and cook
until the cheese melts.
Step 5: Serve
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot directly from the crockpot.
