1.5 pounds ground beef adds hearty protein and richness
1 large yellow onion, chopped provides sweetness and depth
2 cloves garlic, minced adds aromatic flavor
2 pounds frozen diced potatoes for convenient and creamy texture
1 can (15-ounce) whole kernel corn, drained offers sweetness and texture
1 can (10-ounce) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies adds spice and moisture
1 can (10.75-ounce) condensed cream of mushroom soup for creamy consistency
0.5 cup beef broth or milk enhances moisture and flavor
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese provides richness and a savory finish

Begin by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic until the onion is translucent and fragrant. Combine with the browned beef.
In your slow cooker, combine the cooked beef and onion mixture with the frozen diced potatoes.
Add the drained corn and Rotel diced tomatoes and stir gently to combine.
Pour in the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth or milk, ensuring everything is well combined.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for about 6-8 hours until potatoes are tender and flavors melded.
15-30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover until melted.

For best results, drain canned corn and tomatoes to prevent excess moisture. Allow casserole to sit a few minutes after cooking before serving.
