Description

This Slow Cooker Steak and Cheddar Potato Casserole is a hearty and comforting meal featuring tender beef steak, creamy potatoes, and rich cheddar cheese cooked to perfection in a slow cooker. With layers of seasoned steak, potatoes, onions, and corn all simmered in a savory broth and cream mixture, this dish is perfect for any cozy dinner and requires minimal hands-on cooking.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Seasonings

  • 2 pounds beef steak (such as sirloin or chuck, cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Vegetables and Cheese

  • 4 large potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

Liquids

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Season the beef steak pieces evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss them to ensure all pieces are well coated with the spices.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Place the peeled and diced potatoes along with the diced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker, creating an even layer. Then, add the seasoned steak pieces on top of this layer.
  3. Add Corn: Sprinkle the corn evenly over the steak layer for added flavor and texture.
  4. Combine Liquids: In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this liquid mixture over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker to moisten everything evenly.
  5. Cook the Casserole: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on the low setting for 6 to 8 hours, which will make the steak tender and flavors meld perfectly. Alternatively, cook on high for 4 to 5 hours if time is limited.
  6. Melt the Cheese: Approximately 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle 1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole. Cover again and allow the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
  7. Serve: Once cooking is complete, gently stir the casserole to combine the layers. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Garnish: For presentation, top with the remaining cheddar cheese and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a creamier casserole, use heavy cream as indicated; you can substitute half-and-half for a lighter option but the texture will be less rich.
  • Using chuck steak provides more flavor and tenderness after slow cooking, but sirloin works well for a leaner option.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid in the last 30 minutes of cooking to let some liquid evaporate.
  • Can easily be prepared a day ahead; refrigerate and reheat in the slow cooker or oven before serving.
  • For extra texture, add a handful of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary when layering the ingredients.
  • If fresh corn is unavailable, frozen corn works perfectly without need for thawing.
