Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Amish Shipwreck Casserole
A hearty, budget-friendly comfort dish, often associated with simple Amish-style home cooking. It’s called “Shipwreck” because everything gets layered together and cooks into a delicious, slightly messy casserole.
🛒 Ingredients (4 simple ingredients)
1 lb ground beef
4–5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 can (15 oz) green beans, drained
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed tomato soup
(Optional: salt & pepper to taste)
👩🍳 Instructions
Brown the beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain excess grease.
Layer in the slow cooker
Lightly grease the slow cooker.
Layer half the sliced potatoes on the bottom.
Add half the browned beef.
Spread half the green beans.
Spoon half the tomato soup over the top.
Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.
Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
Serve
Let sit 5–10 minutes before serving. Scoop and enjoy!
