Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) ground beef, cooked and drained
- 4 cups (960 ml) diced potatoes
- 3 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 large scoop minced garlic
- 2 tbsps Worcestershire sauce
- Steak seasoning to taste
- 1 can cheddar cheese soup
- 1.5 to 2 cups (360–480 ml) shredded provolone cheese
- 0.5 cup (120 ml) sour cream
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Brown ground beef in a skillet, carefully draining excess fat to ensure a lean, flavorful base.
- Flavor Enhancement: Sauté bell peppers, onions, and garlic with steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce, developing a robust and aromatic mixture.
- Potato Preparation: Cube potatoes and pre-cook through boiling or microwave to accelerate overall cooking process and ensure optimal tenderness.
- Crockpot Assembly: Layer the seasoned meat mixture, partially cooked potatoes, cheddar cheese soup, provolone cheese, and sour cream in the crockpot, creating a harmonious blend of ingredients.
- Slow Cooking: Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4-5 hours, allowing potatoes to become perfectly tender and cheeses to melt into a creamy, cohesive casserole.
- Serving: Dish out the hot casserole directly from the crockpot, optionally garnishing with fresh chopped parsley for an elevated presentation and added flavor complexity.
Notes
- Meat Preparation Tip: Brown ground beef completely to eliminate excess fat, ensuring a cleaner, more concentrated flavor profile.
- Seasoning Strategy: Layer steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce during vegetable sauté to build deep, complex taste dimensions.
- Potato Cooking Hack: Partially pre-cook potato cubes to reduce overall crockpot cooking time and guarantee consistently tender texture.
- Cheese Melting Technique: Gently fold cheese soup, provolone, and sour cream to create a smooth, luxurious sauce that coats every ingredient perfectly.
