Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft and translucent. Be sure to drain any excess fat.
Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Transfer the beef and onion mixture to the slow cooker. Add the diced potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Stir to combine.
Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and set your slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together into a savory, comforting hash.
Add Cheese: If you’re opting for cheese, sprinkle it over the hash during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Allow it to melt into a gooey, delicious topping.
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, stir the hash to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, and dive into the creamy, comforting goodness.
