Recipe Instructions

  1. Brown Beef: Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet, seasoning it with salt and pepper to taste. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease.

  2. Prepare Vegetables: While the beef is browning, prepare the vegetables. Slice the russet potatoes, carrots, and celery ribs into 1/4″ thick slices.

  3. Layer Ingredients: In your crock pot, layer the ingredients in the following order: potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, peas, and the cooked ground beef. Season each layer with salt and pepper as desired.

  4. Prepare Soup Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the water with the tomato soup until well combined.

  5. Pour Mixture Over Ingredients: Pour the tomato soup mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the crock pot.

  6. Cook: Set your crock pot to the Low setting and cook for 8 hours, allowing all the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to become tender.

  7. TIP: For added convenience, prepare all the ingredients the night before and store them in the refrigerator. In the morning, simply layer them in the crock pot and set it to cook before you head out for the day.

  8. Potato Tip: To prevent the sliced potatoes from browning overnight in the refrigerator, dip them in a solution of 1 cup water with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar before storing.

This Brenda’s Crock Pot Strata recipe is not only delicious and nutritious but also incredibly convenient, making it perfect for busy households or anyone looking for a comforting meal with minimal effort. Enjoy the aroma as it fills your kitchen and savor every bite of this hearty dish! 🥔🥕🍅
