Turn on the slow cooker to sauté mode.

Add 2 lbs of ground beef to the slow cooker to brown.

Drain excess fat from the cooked ground beef.

In a bowl, combine 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup of milk, whisking until smooth.

Shred 1 1/2 cups of cheese using a cheese shredder or by hand.

Peel and slice 5 russet potatoes into thin rounds.

Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Add half of the browned ground beef on top of the potatoes.

Pour half of the soup mixture over the layered ingredients.

Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the soup mixture.

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, ground beef, soup mixture, and cheese.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until potatoes are tender.
