- 4 cups diced potatoes
- 3 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced

Seasonings and Dairy:
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Steak seasoning to taste
- 1 can cheddar cheese soup
- 1.5 to 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Thoroughly brown lean ground beef in a large skillet, ensuring complete rendering of excess fat through careful draining.
- Incorporate finely diced bell peppers, sweet onions, and freshly minced garlic into the browned meat, enhancing flavors with robust steak seasoning and tangy Worcestershire sauce.
- Sauté the vegetable and meat mixture until vegetables reach a tender, translucent consistency, developing deep, rich flavors.
- Prepare potatoes by cutting into uniform 1-inch (2.5 centimeters) cubes and partially cooking through boiling or microwave method to promote faster overall cooking.
- Carefully transfer the seasoned meat and vegetable blend into the crockpot, creating a flavorful base for the casserole.
- Gently fold in creamy cheddar cheese soup, layering torn provolone cheese slices, and incorporating smooth sour cream to create a luxurious, velvety texture.
- Thoroughly mix all ingredients, ensuring even distribution of cheese, meat, and vegetables throughout the casserole.
- Secure crockpot lid and slow cook on high temperature for 2 hours or low temperature for 4-5 hours, allowing potatoes to become perfectly tender and cheeses to melt into a rich, cohesive dish.
- Serve piping hot directly from the crockpot, garnishing with optional fresh chopped parsley for added freshness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Prep ahead by browning beef and sautéing vegetables to jumpstart the flavor profile and save time during assembly.
- Partially boil potatoes beforehand to reduce overall cooking time and ensure they’re perfectly tender when served.
- Customize the spice level by adjusting steak seasoning or adding hot sauce for an extra kick of heat.
- Layer provolone cheese slices strategically to create pockets of melty, gooey goodness throughout the casserole.
- Leftovers store beautifully in airtight containers and reheat wonderfully for quick next-day lunches or dinners.
- Top with fresh chopped parsley or green onions just before serving to add a bright, fresh finish to this hearty dish.
