Instructions

Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned. Drain any excess fat to ensure the casserole is not greasy.
Sauté Vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sprinkle with steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce, then sauté until the vegetables become tender and flavorful.
Partially Cook Potatoes: Prepare the diced potatoes by either boiling them for 5-7 minutes or microwaving them until just tender but not fully cooked. This prevents the potatoes from being undercooked in the casserole.
Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Transfer the cooked ground beef and sautéed vegetables into the crockpot. Add the partially cooked diced potatoes, cheddar cheese soup, shredded provolone cheese, and sour cream to the crockpot bowl.
Mix Well: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors and cheese throughout the mixture.
Cook the Casserole: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4-5 hours. The casserole is ready when the potatoes are tender and the cheese has melted into a bubbly, creamy sauce.
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, serve the crockpot cheesesteak potato casserole hot. It pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

Partially cooking the potatoes before adding them to the crockpot prevents them from becoming too mushy during the slow cooking process.
Use fresh provolone cheese for a better melt and flavor, but alternatives like mozzarella can work in a pinch.
Adjust steak seasoning according to your taste preferences, especially if your blend contains salt to avoid oversalting.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
For added creaminess, consider stirring in a little cream cheese or milk before serving.
