A hearty and comforting slow-cooked casserole layered with seasoned beef, tender potatoes, bell peppers, onions, and gooey melted cheese. This Philly-inspired dish is perfect for a fuss-free family dinner packed with flavor.
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1 lb ground beef (or thinly sliced beef steak)
– 1 green bell pepper, chopped
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup beef broth
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Optional: chopped parsley or green onions for garnish
Directions:
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the onion and bell peppers for 4–5 minutes until slightly softened. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly grease the bottom of a crockpot with nonstick spray. Layer half of the diced potatoes, followed by half the beef mixture and half of the sautéed peppers and onions.
Sprinkle with half the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef, vegetables, and cheeses.
Pour beef broth evenly over the top.
Cover and cook on Low for 5–6 hours or on High for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions before serving, if desired.
