Description
A hearty, cheesy slow cooker casserole with tender potatoes, savory beef, peppers, and gooey cheese. Comfort food made for busy nights.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil or nonstick spray for crockpot
Instructions
- Peel and dice the potatoes, chop the pepper and onion, and mince the garlic for even cooking.
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink, then drain excess grease.
- Add onion and garlic to the skillet, cooking for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Lightly grease the crockpot. Layer half the potatoes, half the beef mixture, half the peppers, and half the cheese. Repeat layers, finishing with cheese on top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until potatoes are fork-tender and cheese is melted.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm garnished with fresh parsley or green onions.
Notes
 Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting. Leftovers store well in the fridge up to 4 days. Freeze cooled portions for up to 2 months. Serve with salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
