Black pepper
Mix well to coat the beef evenly in the rich, creamy sauce.
Step 4: Layer the Potatoes
Add the thinly sliced potatoes in layers over the beef mixture. If possible, alternate layers of beef and potatoes, ending with a final layer of potatoes on top. This ensures every bite is packed with tender beef and soft potatoes.
Step 5: Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. The slow cooking allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken naturally.
(Short on time? Cook on HIGH for 3–4 hours, checking occasionally to prevent burning.)
Step 6: Add the Cheesy Topping
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover again and let it melt into a golden, bubbly layer.
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy!
Scoop generous portions onto plates and serve warm. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.
Perfect Pairings: Serve with a crisp side salad, steamed green beans, or warm bread for a complete, comforting meal.
Make-Ahead & Storage Tips
Prep Ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, store it in the slow cooker insert (refrigerated), then cook the next day.
Freezing: Let the casserole cool completely, then portion into freezer-safe containers. Reheat in the oven or microwave for an easy meal later.
Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days—flavors deepen over time!
