Slow Cooker Steak and Cheddar Potato Casserole is ultra-comforting—tender beef simmered with potatoes in savory broth, finished with melty cheddar. A hands-off, hearty one-pot meal perfect for busy days or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1½ lbs beef stew meat or sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (add near end)
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions

Instructions

  1. Sear the beef (optional): In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and brown the seasoned beef lightly—this boosts flavor. Skip if short on time.
  2. Load the slow cooker: Add diced potatoes, onion, garlic, beef, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  3. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours, or on HIGH for 4–5 hours, until beef is tender and potatoes are done.
  4. Add cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheddar over the top. Cover again until it’s gooey and melted.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with parsley or green onions, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Boost veggies: Stir in frozen peas or corn during the final hour.
  • Cheese swap: Use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for extra gooeyness.
  • Dairy-free option: Omit cheese or use dairy-free alternatives.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days; reheat gently, adding broth if too thick.
  • Freezing: Cools well—freeze individual portions and reheat from frozen at 350 °F for about 15–20 minutes.
