Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey or beef
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika plus more for garnish
  • Gluten-free nonstick cooking spray or olive oil for the crock
  • 2 cups frozen or leftover vegetables I use roasted corn and peas
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 3 cups leftover mashed potatoes

Instructions

  • For best results, use a 4-quart slow cooker. If you use a larger size, reduce the cooking time by one-third.
  • Brown the meat, garlic, and onion on the stove in a large skillet. Drain any accumulated fat.
  • Remove from heat and add the salt, onion powder, pepper, and paprika.
  • Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or rub with a bit of olive oil. Put the meat mixture in the slow cooker and add the vegetables and water. Stir to combine. Sprinkle with the cheese. Press the mashed potatoes down on top of the cheese and meat. Sprinkle with a bit of paprika for a touch of color.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for about 3 hours. Remove the lid and cook on high for 30 minutes to release the condensation and allow the potatoes to brown a bit on top. Everything is cooked already, so you're really just allowing the flavors to meld and the potatoes to brown on top.
