Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Amish Harvest Casserole
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef and chopped onions. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking the meat apart with a spatula until browned and onions are translucent. Drain excess fat before transferring to the slow cooker.
  2. Begin layering the casserole in the slow cooker with the browned beef and onions at the bottom. Add sliced carrots and diced potatoes evenly over the beef, followed by corn and green beans.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine mushroom soup with half a cup of water, stirring until smooth. Pour this cream sauce over layered ingredients in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is covered.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set to low heat. Allow to simmer for 6-8 hours, checking occasionally.
  5. About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle a generous layer of sharp cheddar cheese on top. Re-cover and let melt into a bubbly topping.
