Vegetables
- 4 cups Yukon gold or red potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup green bell peppers, diced
- 1 cup onions, diced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
Dairy
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or provolone cheese
Liquids & Seasonings
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the beef into thin strips and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Dice the onions, bell peppers, and optional mushrooms, keeping all pieces uniform in size for consistent texture.
- Layer the Ingredients in the Crockpot: Spread a layer of chopped potatoes evenly on the bottom of the crockpot. Add the beef strips, then top with the diced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
- Add Seasonings and Broth: Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the layers. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce and pour the beef broth gently over the ingredients, moistening the mixture without flooding it.
- Cook on Low: Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and the potatoes to soften while absorbing all flavorful juices.
- Add Cheese and Finish Cooking: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly across the top. Cover again and let it melt into a creamy, cheesy layer that blends the dish together.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced beef for faster, even cooking and a tender texture.
- Yukon gold potatoes hold their shape well and become creamy without turning mushy.
- Do not overload the crockpot to ensure even heat circulation and proper cooking.
- Add cheese near the end of cooking to prevent it from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
- Adjust seasonings during cooking if desired, tasting the broth halfway through to add more salt or Worcestershire as needed.
