## 🐴 How to Make It
1. **Brown the Beef**
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and diced onion until the beef is no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
2. **Layer in the Slow Cooker**
In a greased slow cooker, layer half the sliced potatoes, then half the beef mixture, followed by half the corn, beans, and cheese. Repeat the layers.
3. **Mix the Sauce**
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over the layered ingredients.
4. **Cook Low and Slow**
Cover and cook on **low for 6–7 hours**, or **high for 3–4 hours**, until the potatoes are tender.
5. **Finish with Cheese**
In the last 10 minutes of cooking, sprinkle extra cheese on top, cover, and let it melt.
