Preparation Time
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 6-8 hours (low) or 3-4 hours (high)
- Total Time: 6-8 hours and 15 minutes
- Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) thinly sliced beef (sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups frozen hash browns or diced potatoes
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Begin by slicing the beef, onion, and bell pepper into thin, even strips. If using fresh potatoes, dice them into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Step 2: Layer the Ingredients in the Crockpot
- In your slow cooker, start with a layer of half of the hash browns or diced potatoes.
- Add half of the sliced onions, bell peppers, and beef on top.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder over the layer.
- Repeat the layering with the remaining ingredients.
Step 3: Add the Broth & Worcestershire Sauce
Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce evenly over the layered ingredients. This step ensures that every bite is infused with a rich, deep flavor as the casserole cooks.
Step 4: Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover the crockpot and set it to:
- Low for 6-8 hours, or
- High for 3-4 hours
During this time, the beef will become incredibly tender, and the potatoes will absorb all the delicious flavors.
Step 5: Add the Cheese
About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese evenly on top. Cover the slow cooker again, allowing the cheese to melt into a creamy, gooey layer of goodness.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Once the cheese is fully melted, stir gently, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot. Pair this dish with a simple side salad or garlic bread for a complete, satisfying meal.
