Slow Cooker Ground Beef & Stuffing Bake
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 box dry herb stuffing mix, about 6 ounces
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 10.5 ounces
- 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables, 12 to 16 ounces
- 1 cup water
Directions
1. Prepare the slow cooker
Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread the raw ground beef evenly across the bottom, breaking it into smaller pieces as you go.
2. Add the soup and vegetables
Spoon the condensed cream of mushroom soup evenly over the beef.
Scatter the frozen mixed vegetables over the top.
3. Add the stuffing
Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the vegetables.
Slowly pour the water over the stuffing to lightly moisten it.
Do not stir the layers together.
4. Slow cook
Cover and cook on:
- LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or
- HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 hours
The casserole is ready when the ground beef is fully cooked and the stuffing is soft and flavorful.
5. Finish the casserole
If you prefer a more blended casserole, gently stir some of the beef into the creamy sauce before serving.
For more texture, leave part of the stuffing layer undisturbed on top.
6. Serve
Spoon the casserole into bowls or onto plates and serve hot.
This easy slow-cooker dinner delivers savory beef, creamy sauce, vegetables, and stuffing in every bite — simple ingredients with plenty of homestyle comfort.
