Ingredients

• Main Components:
• 1 lb shaved steak (or substitute with ground beef)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
• 4 cups diced potatoes (peeled or unpeeled, based on preference)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
• ½ cup milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Preparation Method

Prepare the base:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the shaved steak (or ground beef) until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the pan and sauté for about 2–3 minutes, just until they start to soften and release their aroma.

Make the sauce:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This creamy mixture will tie all the ingredients together during the slow cooking process.

Start layering in your crockpot:
Begin by placing half of the diced potatoes at the bottom of your slow cooker. Then, layer half of the meat and veggie mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle on half of the shredded cheese, followed by half of the soup mixture poured evenly across the top.

Repeat the layers:
Add the remaining potatoes, followed by the rest of the steak mixture, cheese, and finally, the rest of the creamy sauce.

Let it cook:
Cover your crockpot and set it to cook on low heat for 5 to 6 hours. When the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese has melted into a rich, gooey blanket over the dish, it's ready.

Garnish and serve:
Just before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm, ideally with a crisp side salad or steamed greens to balance the richness.

Tips and Conclusion

Add your personal touch!
– Swap cheddar for provolone or mozzarella for a more traditional Philly cheesesteak vibe.
– Want a little spice? Add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the soup mixture.
– Using Yukon Gold or red potatoes will give a creamier texture; russets will be softer and more absorbent.

This casserole also makes a fantastic meal prep option. Portion it into containers and enjoy satisfying lunches all week long!
