Slow Cooker Hamburger Hash is a hearty, comforting dish that is perfect for those days when you crave something warm and satisfying. It is a rustic meal with origins in the American home kitchen, where cooks often sought to create filling and nutritious dishes that could feed the whole family without breaking the bank.

This slow cooker version takes the traditional skillet hamburger hash – typically made with ground beef, potatoes, and onions – and transforms it into a creamy casserole-like dish by incorporating cream of mushroom soup. It is an ideal recipe for busy individuals or families, as it allows for all the ingredients to simmer together in a slow cooker, melding the flavors into a delicious, savory meal with minimal effort.

When serving Slow Cooker Hamburger Hash, you have a variety of options. It can be a complete meal on its own, given its combination of protein, vegetables, and starch.

However, if you want to add a little more to your plate, it pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad to add some freshness and balance the richness of the dish.

You could also serve it with green beans or corn for a classic comfort meal feel.

For a more substantial dinner, consider adding a side of crusty bread or dinner rolls to sop up the delicious creamy sauce.
