Ingredients
Scale
- 1-inch beef steak pieces (sirloin, chuck roast, or stewing beef)
- Russet potatoes (peeled and sliced ¼ to ½ inch thick)
- Sharp or medium cheddar cheese (freshly grated)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Paprika (to taste)
- Dried thyme (to taste)
- Worcestershire sauce (to taste)
Instructions
- Pat your 1-inch beef pieces dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer the beef to your slow cooker insert.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Transfer the cooked onion and garlic to the slow cooker with the beef.
- Peel your potatoes and slice them evenly, about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, beef broth, paprika, dried thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Spread about one-third of the sliced potatoes evenly over the beef and onion mixture in the slow cooker. Pour about one-third of the creamy sauce over the potatoes. Sprinkle about one-third of the freshly grated cheddar cheese over the sauce. Repeat these layers two more times, ending with a generous layer of cheese on top.
- Cover your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the beef is incredibly tender and easily shreddable.
- Once cooked, carefully scoop out generous portions of your Slow Cooker Steak And Cheddar Potato Casserole. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve hot and enjoy.

Keywords: Browning the beef before adding it to the slow cooker enhances the flavor. Use uniform potato slices for even cooking. Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded varieties. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
