Use a spoon to break it into small pieces while it cooks. Once it’s all brown with no pink left, sprinkle in the 1 pieces taco seasoning packet and stir it around so all the meat gets coated.

Add the 1 pieces condensed cream of mushroom soup (can), 1 pieces diced tomatoes with green chilies (can), and 1 pieces frozen shredded hash brown potatoes (bag) right on top. Stir everything together so it’s all mixed up and nothing is hiding at the bottom.Let it cook: Put the lid on tight. Set the slow cooker to LOW for 4 to 240 minutes240:00, or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours. Go do your thing — it’s got this covered all by itself.Add the cheese: About 30 minutes30:00before you’re ready to eat, open the lid and sprinkle the 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese all over the top. Put the lid back on and let it melt into a gooey, stretchy layer.Serve it up: Spoon it out while it’s hot. If you have some 2 pieces green onions, chopped (optional) on hand, toss a little on top — it adds a nice fresh crunch. Dig in and enjoy!
