Crockpot Loaded Steak and Potato Bake recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs sirloin steak or stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
• ¼ cup beef broth (for moisture)
• 2 tbsp chopped green onions or chives (optional, for garnish)
• Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

1. Prep Ingredients: Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice into small cubes. Dice the onion and cut the steak into bite-sized cubes.
2. Layer in Crockpot: Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with oil or cooking spray.
   • Add half the potatoes, half the steak, and half the onions.
   • Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
   • Repeat with the remaining potatoes, steak, and onions. Season again.
3. Add Cheese and Bacon: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and bacon over the top. Drizzle olive oil or melted butter evenly.
4. Add Moisture: Pour the beef broth evenly over everything.
5. Cook:
   • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender and steak is fully cooked.
6. Final Topping: About 10 minutes before serving, top with the remaining cheese and bacon. Cover just long enough to melt the cheese.
7. Serve: Spoon into bowls and garnish with green onions or chives. Add a dollop of sour cream if desired.
