Crockpot Loaded Beef and Potato Bake
Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef steak (ribeye or sirloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- (Additional ingredients often used in similar recipes, not listed in the image but inferred: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 cup beef broth, and fresh parsley for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare Ingredients: Cut the beef steak into bite-sized pieces. Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes.
- Season: In a bowl, toss the beef and potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (about 1 tsp each, adjust to taste).
- Layer in Crockpot: Place the seasoned beef and potatoes into the crockpot. Pour in 1/2 cup beef broth to help with cooking and add flavor.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are soft.
- Add Cheese: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover and let it melt.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, garnish with chopped fresh parsley (as seen in the image) and serve hot.
Notes:
- You can add other seasonings or ingredients like diced onions, paprika, or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
- If the dish looks too dry during cooking, add a bit more broth or water.
