Ultimate Crockpot Cheesesteak Potato

Ultimate Crockpot Cheesesteak Potatoes are the perfect comfort food for a busy day. They combine tender potatoes with the savory goodness of Philly cheesesteak-inspired fillings—think juicy beef, melted cheese, peppers, and onions—all slow-cooked to perfection. This dish is easy to prepare, incredibly flavorful, and makes for an awesome meal or hearty side dish.

Here’s a simple recipe to make Ultimate Crockpot Cheesesteak Potatoes:

Ingredients:

• 4 large russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
• 1 lb flank steak or sirloin steak (cut into thin strips or small cubes)
• 1 onion (sliced)
• 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing the beef)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp steak seasoning (or salt and pepper to taste)
• 1 tsp paprika (optional)
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano (optional)
• 1 1/2 cups provolone cheese (shredded, or you can use mozzarella)
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded, optional for extra cheesiness)
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the ingredients:

   • Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
   • Slice the onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic. Set those aside as well.

2. Sear the steak (optional but recommended for flavor):

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned but not fully cooked through (it will cook more in the Crockpot). Season with steak seasoning, paprika, and a little salt and pepper.
   • Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside.

3. Layer the Crockpot:

   • Place the cubed potatoes at the bottom of the Crockpot.
   • Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and garlic over the potatoes.
   • Layer the seared steak on top of the vegetables.

4. Add liquids and seasonings:

   • Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
   • Give everything a gentle stir to distribute the liquids evenly, but don’t mix too much—let the layers stay intact for even cooking.

5. Cook:

   • Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the steak is cooked through. The potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork, and the flavors will meld together beautifully.

6. Add cheese:

   • About 10-15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese (and cheddar, if using) over the top. Cover again to let the cheese melt and get bubbly.

7. Serve:

   • Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, give everything a final gentle stir to combine, or serve as-is with cheese on top.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and a fresh contrast to the rich flavors.

The potatoes soak up all the delicious beefy and cheesy goodness, while the steak, peppers, and onions infuse the dish with tons of flavor.

You can even add some mushrooms to the mix if you love the earthy flavor they add. These are great on their own, or you can serve them as a side dish to a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal.

Would you serve this with a side of crispy bread, or maybe a fresh green salad to balance out all that cheesy richness?
