Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 large russet potatoes cubed
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz
  • 1 cup sour cream divided
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
  • 6 strips bacon cooked crispy and crumbled
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 cup beef broth

Equipment

  • Crockpot or slow cooker
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Sharp knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Season the cubed steak with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder in a large bowl, tossing to coat evenly.
  2. Spray your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease with butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Layer half of the cubed potatoes on the bottom of the crockpot, creating an even base layer.
  4. Add the seasoned steak cubes on top of the potato layer, spreading them out evenly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, half cup of sour cream, minced garlic, and beef broth, whisking until smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour half of the soup mixture over the steak layer, using a spoon to distribute it evenly.
  7. Add the remaining potato cubes on top, creating a second potato layer.
  8. Pour the rest of the soup mixture over the top potato layer, ensuring all potatoes are coated.
  9. Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top, covering the potatoes completely.
  10. Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender and steak is cooked through.
  11. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining cup of cheddar cheese and the crumbled bacon over the top, then replace the lid to allow the cheese to melt completely.
  12. Once cooking is complete, remove the lid and let the dish rest for 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  13. Top with remaining sour cream dollops and sliced green onions just before serving for fresh flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

For extra flavor, sear steak cubes before adding to crockpot. Add more vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms if desired. Can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter option.
