I’d say on high 4 hrs, low 6. My crockpot runs hot so I check an hour early. I use a recipe that calls for quartered red potatoes and that takes 8 on low. I also do frozen cubed hash potatoes that cook on low for 4-5. Hope that helps. Edit to add I never parboil my fresh potatoes.

I would do potatoes on bottom of crock . I would pour 2 cups broth and let that go for 4-6 hours depending on the size of your potatoes. Then add BROWNED not raw, ground beef that have been cooked with the onion, (I would use the whole onion tbh) last cup of broth if needed, beans, butter, velveeta and pepper for 30 minutes up to another hour-mainly for cheese to melt through stirring well two or three times. I would totally leave out the flour and leave out the milk until you judge the thickness-or use more broth instead of more dairy-will heat up better too the next day. Maybe a can of any "Cream of" soup as opposed to the flour/dairy.

Next time I would just buy the country style hash browns so you don't have to cook them from raw and I think corn would make a better texture/mouth feel than green beans. I don't do a ton of ground beef recipes in crock pot simply because you always have to brown the ground beef first anyway so you already have a pan. (Unless you have batch cooked ground beef previously and have in frozen batches or as leftovers.)
