How to Make Beefy Potato Taco Casserole in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
When making this Beefy Potato Crock Pot Taco Casserole recipe, I made the prep so much easier with my mandoline slicer. By using a mandoline slicer, you can have thin and uniform slices, so that everything will cook evenly.
If you are looking to save some money, you can substitute ground turkey for the ground beef. It is a 1 to 1 substitution. You can also use generic brand items for all of the ingredients you can find a generic for. However, the cheddar cheese soup, I look for sales and stock up when I can get them at a discount.

This is one of our favorites! I made it Sunday and we have leftovers for tonight. I used 1 can of the cheddar soup and 1 whole jar of cheese sauce from Walmart. (The one located in the chips section, their brand.) It was SO good!
