So last night I was going to make Cowboy Casserole as it was on my menu plan. So it was about 5:00, I went into the kitchen and started taking out the ingredients. I then proceeded to read the recipe that instructed me to layer the ingredients in the slow cooker! UGH! What a dope. So we ate chinese take out last night.
This morning I pulled the recipe out again and put everything into the crockpot. The results were yummy and we will definitely have this again. Any easy meal and great comfort food.

I love dinners like this! Look at those thick slices of potato….I would be in heaven eating this.
i actually wasn’t sure if we were going to like it, but there were so many people on the FamilyCorner.com message boards that had tried it and liked it I figured it must be good… and it was : )
I whipped this up yesterday morning. After 2 hours of being in the crockpot it was already smelling good throughout the house. Put it on top of Frito's with some cheese. It was yum!! Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it Amber, love the addition of the Fritos!
I love this recipe…..but, have added chunks of onions and, on occasion, to spice things up…..a can of Rotel diced tomatoes!
Oh, this looks like a Dutch Oven meal to me! I think I will try it soon,
I’m sure it would be great in a Dutch oven!
Amanda, what size slow cooker is this recipe made for? I have a little 2-quart since it’s just me and the hubby, and would love to make this, but need to figure out the appropriate ingredient amounts!
Hi Amanda. I have always had what I believe is a 4 or 5 quart? So you may want to cut it in half.
Small or large can of tomatoes?
Sorry about that, a 14 oz can
I made this and it was great. I also had enough left over to freeze for 2 other meals. I took out enough for 2 meals after 1 hour so I could freeze it. It worked great! I did not use the tomatoe soup however I used 2 cups of fresh tomatoes diced and no garlic.
I also can half the recipe for the smaller crockpot which is great too!
Thanks!
Sounds like a fabulous substitution!
How many does this feed?
I would say 4-6
I wonder…if I added little carrots & diced celery…am I back at reg. stew w/grnd meat, or, am I still eatin’ with the Cowboys(& girls)? hhmmm. I’ll try it & let you know, when the weather cools down! I always serve dinner at my staff meetings …this could be a winner!
I’m sure you could, easily adaptable!
This sounds great. I might try this for a church pot luck. Do you think I could cook half-way through the night before and the remaining time the next day?
I think as long as the meat has been browned that would be okay to do :)
Do you drain the beans?
No do not drain the beans :)
I grew up with a similar recipe called “Shipwreck.” With Shipwreck, you start with the browned meat in the bottom of a dutch oven, layer sliced onions, sliced raw potatoes, sliced raw celery, 16 oz. can kidney beans (drained or undrained, your choice), 1 can condensed tomato soup, 1 soup can water, 1 T sugar sprinkled over top. Cover, bake 2 hours at 350 deg. This would be a quicker way to get the same flavor if you don’t have 6-8 hours to wait for a crockpot.
I made this yesterday omitting the onion & used red ball potatoes cut in half. I put half the tomato soup in the bottom of my crock, added the potatoes & put the beef in raw (I only buy 93% lean) then the rest of the soup & seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder & pepper. I loved it!!!
Sounds wonderful Heidi!
I’m not sure if it will work…gonna try. Because I dont eat beef I will try this with smoked sausage…
(the kind packaged in a horse-shoe-shape) I will let you know hoe it turns out.
Hope the substitution worked for you Tammy! You could also try ground chicken or turkey :)
