Description

This Slow Cooker Steak and Cheddar Potato Casserole is a hearty and comforting dish featuring tender beef steak pieces cooked slowly with potatoes, onions, corn, and a creamy cheddar cheese sauce. Perfect for a satisfying family meal, it combines robust flavors and an easy, hands-off cooking method in the slow cooker.

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 Dairy

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

Liquids and Extras

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Season the beef steak pieces with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss well to coat each piece evenly with the spices.
  2. Layer Ingredients: In the slow cooker, place the peeled and diced potatoes and diced onions as the bottom layer, then add the seasoned steak pieces on top of the vegetables.
  3. Add Corn: Evenly sprinkle the corn over the layer of steak to add sweetness and texture to the casserole.
  4. Combine Liquids: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this liquid mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker to help keep everything moist and flavorful during cooking.
  5. Cook the Casserole: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or on high heat for 4 to 5 hours. Cooking on low heat will result in the most tender and flavorful steak and potatoes.
  6. Melt the Cheese: About 30 minutes before serving time, sprinkle 1½ cups of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the slow cooker again and allow the cheese to melt thoroughly.
  7. Serve: Once cooking is complete and the cheese is melted, gently stir the casserole to combine all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
  8. Garnish: For an attractive finish, top the casserole with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use sirloin or chuck steak for best results; chuck will be more tender after slow cooking.
  • For a lower-fat option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but the sauce will be less rich.
  • Frozen corn works fine and adds nice sweetness, just thaw it before using if preferred.
  • Adjust seasoning and spices based on your taste preference, adding more garlic or onion powder if desired.
  • The casserole can be prepared the night before by assembling it in the slow cooker insert and refrigerating; just add an hour to cooking time if cooking from cold.
  • Leftovers reheat well in the microwave or oven and often taste better the next day as flavors develop.
  • Garnishing with fresh parsley adds color and a fresh herbal note to the rich casserole.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 6 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high
