**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 10.5 oz cheddar cheese soup
– 2 lbs frozen shredded hash browns
– 2 1/2 cups shredded cheese
**Instructions:**
1. **Brown the Ground Beef:** In a hot pan, cook the ground beef with diced onion and minced garlic until the beef is fully cooked and the onions are translucent.
2. **Transfer to Crockpot:** Once cooked, transfer the ground beef mixture to a crockpot.
3. **Add Tomatoes:** Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies to the crockpot for an extra kick of flavor.
4. **Mix in Ingredients:** Mix in the sour cream, taco seasoning, cheddar cheese soup, frozen shredded hash browns, and shredded cheese until all ingredients are well combined, creating a creamy and savory mixture.
5. **Set Crockpot:** Set your crockpot to cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours. This allows the casserole to simmer gently and the flavors to meld together while the cheese melts and becomes gooey.
6. **Check for Readiness:** Once the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly, it’s ready to serve!
7. **Serve:** Dish out generous portions of this mouthwatering Taco Potato Casserole onto plates and enjoy with your family and friends.
