- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) baby potatoes, halved
Cheese and Seasonings:
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Layer sliced steak, chopped onions, and diced bell peppers into a slow cooker, creating a vibrant base for the casserole.
- Arrange thinly sliced potatoes evenly across the meat and vegetable mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper uniformly over the layered ingredients to enhance the flavor profile.
- Distribute half of the provolone cheese across the initial layer, creating a melty foundation.
- Add a second layer of steak, vegetables, and potatoes, mirroring the first layer’s composition.
- Generously top the second layer with remaining provolone cheese, ensuring complete coverage.
- Gently pour beef broth over the entire casserole, allowing liquid to seep through the layers.
- Secure the crockpot lid and cook on low temperature for 7-8 hours or high temperature for 4-5 hours until potatoes become fork-tender.
- Once cooking is complete, let the casserole rest for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld and settle.
- Serve piping hot directly from the slow cooker, scooping generous portions that capture multiple layers.
Notes
- Customize meat selection by using leaner cuts like sirloin or trimming excess fat for a healthier version.
- Consider gluten-free diets by ensuring beef broth and cheese are certified gluten-free.
