Hamburger-Potato Crock Pot Dinner

First, the night before. . .
 

make a batch (best, or make ahead and freeze), of homemade condensed cream of mushroom soup.

Brown 1 lb. of organic/grass fed beef in a skillet.  Salt and pepper it.

While the meat is browning, peel and slice 6 medium organic (or homegrown) potatoes, placing them into a bowl with 1 cup water and 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar.

In another bowl, combine 1 onion diced, 1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese, 1/4 flour, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. black pepper.

Drain the meat, and place in the bottom of a crock pot.  Drain the potatoes.  Then top the meat with layers of potatoes.  Sprinkle the top of that with the cheese/onion mixture.  Slice up 2 Tbsp or organic butter and dot the top.

Spread the homemade condensed mushroom soup over top of everything.

(without the added extra cheese, and still delicious!)

Cook in the crock pot for about 7-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.  Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese about 1/2 hour prior to serving.
