Ingredients

Scale

For the Base:

1 ½ lbs beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Loaded Toppings:

6 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup chopped green onions

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Ingredients: Thinly slice the steak and season lightly with salt and pepper. Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Slice the onion and mince the garlic.

2️⃣ Layer in the Crockpot: In your slow cooker, layer the cubed potatoes, sliced onion, and minced garlic. Place the seasoned steak slices on top of the potato mixture. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the ingredients. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3️⃣ Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the steak is tender and the potatoes are soft. Stir gently halfway through cooking if possible.

4️⃣ Add the Toppings: During the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the dish. Cover and let the cheese melt. Once the cooking is complete, stir in half of the crumbled turkey bacon and half of the green onions.

5️⃣ Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the steak and potato bake into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream, the remaining crumbled turkey bacon, and a sprinkle of green onions. Dive in and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors of this loaded dish!

Notes

Feel free to swap the beef with chicken or pork if you prefer. Just adjust the cooking time slightly.
For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of onion powder or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
You can make this dish ahead of time and reheat it for an easy meal throughout the week.
If you don’t have sour cream, Greek yogurt works as a great substitute for a tangy finish.
