Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef along with the chopped onion until the meat is browned and the onions are tender. Once done, drain off any excess fat from the skillet.

-
Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on the low setting for 7 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked.
-
Final Touches: Just before serving, gently stir the potato mixture to combine everything. If desired, top with sour cream, salsa, sliced green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese for added flavor and texture.
