Italian Beef and Potato Casserole

I'm always on the lookout for something for the crockpot. This one has me really curious as to whether or not I would like it. What do you think?

Italian Beef and Potato Casserole

1 pound lean ground beef
5 1/2 ounces package scalloped potatoes
16 ounces can tomatoes
10 1/2 ounces can pizza sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup mozzarella cheese; cut into 1" cubes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

In skillet or slow-cooking pot with browning unit, brown meat until
crumbly; drain off fat. In slow-cooking pot, combine beef with
dry sauce mix from package of scalloped potatoes, tomatoes, pizza
sauce, water, salt, oregano, basil and garlic powder. Stir in
dry potato slices. Cover and cook on low 4 to 5 hours. Turn
control to high. Stir in cubes of mozzarella cheese. Top with

It sounds super yummy. Definitely going into my crockpot file. I am going to add italian sausage instead of ground beef since I got some for great price yesterday!
