Description

A rich and hearty slow cooker casserole featuring tender steak, creamy thinly sliced potatoes, and melted cheddar cheese. This comforting dish combines savory layers of steak, onion, and cheese with a flavorful garlic-infused broth, perfect for effortless, hands-off cooking and satisfying family meals.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 500 g steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Liquid and Seasonings

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup cream or milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and facilitate easy serving.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Arrange half of the thinly sliced potatoes evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker, followed by half of the steak pieces, then the sliced onion, and a layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat this layering process with the remaining potatoes, steak, onion, and cheese.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the beef broth, cream or milk, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to integrate all flavors.
  4. Pour Over Layers: Evenly pour the broth mixture over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker, ensuring it seeps through to distribute flavor and moisture throughout the casserole.
  5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, or alternatively on high heat for 3 to 4 hours. Cooking time depends on your slow cooker model and heat setting.
  6. Check for Doneness: Before serving, test the potatoes for tenderness by piercing them with a fork. They should be soft and fully cooked.
  7. Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving to help it set and enhance texture. Scoop portions onto plates and enjoy your hearty meal.

Notes

  • Choose a well-marbled cut of steak for the best tenderness and flavor.
  • Add extra vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers to increase flavor complexity and nutrition.
  • Letting the casserole rest before serving improves its texture and makes it easier to portion.
