Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup sliced onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1 tsp steak seasoning
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Other Ingredients
- 3 cups diced potatoes (partially cooked)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cheddar cheese soup
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sprinkle steak seasoning and drizzle Worcestershire sauce over the mixture. Continue to cook until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
- Partially Cook Potatoes: Prepare the diced potatoes by boiling or microwaving them just until they start to become tender but are not fully cooked, ensuring they finish cooking evenly in the crockpot.
- Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Transfer the cooked ground beef and sautéed vegetables into the crockpot. Add the partially cooked potatoes, cheddar cheese soup, shredded provolone cheese, and sour cream.
- Mix Ingredients: Stir all components thoroughly until fully combined, evenly distributing the cheese and cream throughout the casserole.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4-5 hours. The casserole is ready when the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted, bubbling and golden.
- Serve: Spoon the hot casserole into bowls or onto plates and enjoy a comforting meal packed with classic cheesesteak flavor in every bite.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Using fresh cheese rather than pre-shredded can improve melting quality.
- For spicier flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes during the sauté step.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
- Partially cooking the potatoes before adding to the crockpot avoids uneven cooking and helps maintain a good texture.
