Slow Cooker Amish Yumasetti – Creamy, Hearty, and Everyone’s Favorite Casserole 🍲

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Slow Cooker

Spray the inside of your slow cooker lightly with cooking spray or rub with a bit of oil to make cleanup easier.

Step 2: Layer the Beef

Crumble the raw ground beef evenly into the bottom of the slow cooker. Break it up into small chunks for even cooking.

Step 3: Mix Soup and Broth

In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and beef broth until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the raw beef. Do not stir — letting it sit in layers helps the beef cook gently.

Step 4: Cook the Beef

Cover and cook:

HIGH for 2–2½ hours, or
LOW for about 4 hours

until the beef is cooked through and bubbly at the edges.

Step 5: Stir in the Noodles

Break up larger pieces of beef, then gently stir the mixture. Press the uncooked egg noodles into the sauce so they are mostly submerged. Keep an even layer so they cook uniformly.

Cook again:

HIGH for 20–30 minutes
Stir once or twice to help noodles soften evenly

Step 6: Finish with Cream and Cheese

Turn slow cooker to LOW or KEEP WARM. Stir in sour cream until smooth and creamy. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top and cover until melted, about 5–10 minutes.

Step 7: Serve

Scoop generous portions onto dinner plates or wide bowls. Add black pepper or parsley if desired. Pair with:

Green salad
Buttered peas or green beans
Warm dinner rolls or slices of soft white bread

Tips for Perfect Yumasetti

To prevent overcooked noodles, par-cook slightly al dente and add during the last 10–15 minutes of cooking.
Frozen vegetables can be added before noodles for extra color and nutrition.
Adjust seasoning at the end — the soup and cheese already add salt.
Works well in larger or smaller slow cookers — just monitor noodles to prevent overcooking.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently with a splash of broth or milk if too thick.
Freezing is possible, but noodles may soften more after thawing.

Cream of chicken or celery can work in a pinch, but classic mushroom is traditional.
