This Crockpot Cheesesteak Potato Casserole is a comforting blend of seasoned ground beef, sautéed peppers and onions, tender potatoes, melted provolone, and creamy cheddar soup—all slow-cooked to cheesy perfection.
In a large skillet set over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain off any excess fat and set the beef aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sprinkle the mixture with steak seasoning and add Worcestershire sauce. Sauté the vegetables until they become tender and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes.
Prepare the Potatoes:
If using fresh diced potatoes, they must be partially cooked prior to adding to the crockpot. Either boil the diced potatoes until just fork-tender (approximately 5 minutes) or microwave them until partially softened.
Combine in Crockpot:
Transfer the cooked ground beef and sautéed vegetables into the bowl of a slow cooker. Add the partially cooked potatoes, cheddar cheese soup, shredded provolone, and sour cream. Stir until all components are thoroughly combined.
Cook the Casserole:
Cover and cook on high for approximately 2 hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese mixture is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Serve hot, garnished as desired. Enjoy as a stand-alone main course or paired with a crisp side salad.
Notes
To make this dish gluten-free:
Use a certified gluten-free cheddar cheese soup or substitute with a homemade cheese sauce using gluten-free flour or cornstarch.
Ensure your steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce are labeled gluten-free, as both often contain hidden gluten.
Always double-check labels on processed cheese and sour cream to confirm gluten-free status.
