Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cups frozen diced hash brown potatoes
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Steak:
Season the steak pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika. In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, sear the steak on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set the steak aside. - Layer in the Slow Cooker:
Add the frozen diced hash brown potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and the seared steak to your slow cooker. - Mix the Sauce:
In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir to combine. Pour the sauce over the steak and potatoes in the slow cooker, stirring everything together. - Slow Cook:
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the steak is cooked through. - Add Extra Cheese:
About 20 minutes before serving, sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover and let the cheese melt. - Serve:
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious, comforting casserole!

- Make Ahead: You can prep the ingredients the night before, store them in the fridge, and cook them the next day.
- Alternative Cuts of Beef: You can substitute the steak with ground beef or a leaner cut like sirloin for a different variation.

- Seasoning Adjustments: Adjust the salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to taste for a more personalized flavor.
