This Slow Cooker Beef and Potato Au Gratin is an easy from-scratch hearty meal!  I am a HUGE fan of the crockpot, so finding easy and yummy recipes is something I do weekly when I plan our dinner menu for the week.  My family loves potatoes au gratin as a side dish, so this recipe is even better because it's a delish main dish!

I knew that the potatoes would need some heavy seasoning, so I went heavy with the salt and pepper, but also added garlic powder, paprika and parsley. The potatoes go in the slow cooker peeled, though I don’t mind skin on for most recipes this one tastes great with or without.
