Crockpot Loaded Steak and Potato Bake

Ingredients

• 1.5–2 lbs steak tips or sirloin, cut into chunks
• 6 medium potatoes, diced (skin on for rustic style)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
• 4–6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp onion powder
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• ½ cup beef broth
• Optional: sour cream + green onions for serving

Instructions

1. Season steak with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sear briefly in a skillet with olive oil until browned on the outside. (Worth it for flavor.)

2. Add potatoes and onion to the crockpot. Pour in beef broth.

3. Place steak over top and gently mix.

4. Cover and cook on LOW 6–7 hours or HIGH 3–4 hours until potatoes are tender and steak is cooked how you like it.

5. Stir in cheddar cheese and bacon. Cover another 5–10 minutes until melted and gooey.

6. Scoop into bowls and top with more cheese, sour cream, and green onions if you want that loaded potato vibe.
