Ingredients

• 🥩 1.5 lbs (680 g) steak, cubed (sirloin or chuck roast recommended)
• 🥔 4 cups (about 4 medium) russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 🧀 1 cup (100 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 🥣 1 can (10.5 oz / 295 g) cream of mushroom soup
• 🥄 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
• 🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 🧂 Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation Method

Lightly grease the bottom of your slow cooker with a bit of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.

Start by layering the diced potatoes at the base of the slow cooker. This ensures even cooking and allows the potatoes to soak up the rich flavors from the ingredients above. 🥔💦

Spread the cubed steak evenly over the layer of potatoes. Ensuring an even distribution helps the meat cook uniformly, resulting in tender, flavorful bites throughout the casserole. 🥩✨

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth to create a creamy, savory sauce that will bind the steak and potatoes. 🥣🌿

Pour the mixture over the steak and potatoes, making sure to cover them thoroughly. The sauce will seep through the layers, ensuring every bite is rich and flavorful. 🥄💧

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low heat. Let it cook for 6-8 hours. During this time, the steak will become beautifully tender, and the potatoes will absorb the luscious sauce. 🕒🔥

About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Replace the lid and let the cheese melt into a gooey, golden topping. 🧀😍

Once done, let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving. This short rest period helps the layers set, making it easier to scoop out neat portions. Serve warm and enjoy a spoonful of cheesy, hearty goodness with every bite. 🥘💖

Tips and Conclusion

Looking to switch things up? Substitute the steak with ground beef or chicken for a different twist. Add in some sautéed onions or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture. If you love spice, sprinkle in a bit of smoked paprika or crushed red pepper flakes. This casserole pairs perfectly with a fresh green salad or a slice of crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce. And if you have leftovers, they reheat beautifully for lunch the next day! 🥗🥖🔥
