Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced (Yukon Gold recommended)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the hamburger meat in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  3. Combine the browned meat, diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, beef broth, salt, pepper, and thyme in the crockpot. Add any optional ingredients if desired.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  6. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve hot, garnished with cheese or herbs if desired.
