Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer to slow cooker.
  2. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Pour the sautéed onion and garlic mixture into the slow cooker with the browned ground beef. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
  4. Add sliced carrots, diced potatoes, corn kernels, and chopped green beans to the slow cooker. Mix in cream of mushroom soup, dried thyme, and dried parsley.
  5. Carefully blend all the ingredients in the slow cooker, ensuring that the soup and seasonings coat everything evenly.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
  7. About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole and re-cover until melted and bubbly.
  8. Let the casserole sit, covered, for about 10 minutes before serving. Your Amish Harvest Casserole is now ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

Chop all vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking. Using frozen vegetables can save time but reduce liquid slightly to prevent a soupy casserole.
