Instructions:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with minced garlic until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
- Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the crockpot.
- Add half of the cooked beef, diced onions, bell peppers, and a mixture of the cheeses.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef, vegetables, and cheeses.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the layered casserole.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with chopped green onions just before serving.
Variations:
- Steak Upgrade: Use thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin instead of ground beef for a more authentic cheesesteak feel.
- Spicy Version: Add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mix.
- Cheese Lovers’ Twist: Mix in provolone or American cheese for extra creamy texture.
- Mushroom Boost: Add sliced mushrooms between layers for earthy richness.
Tips:
- Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin potato slices to ensure they cook through.
- For extra depth of flavor, sauté the onions and peppers briefly before layering.
- If your slow cooker runs hot, check doneness around the 5-hour mark on low.
- Leftovers reheat well—store in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
