This filling slow cooker dish blends the bold taste of cheesesteaks with soft potatoes for a no-fuss family dinner. Slow cooking lets the juicy beef, colorful peppers, and gooey cheese come together into a truly satisfying meal.
I've noticed this dish turns basic ground beef into something extraordinary as it cooks slowly. The potatoes really soak up all those yummy flavors.
Key Ingredients
Ground beef delivers the meaty foundation
Colorful peppers bring a touch of sweetness
The right steak blend creates that wow factor
Cheddar soup makes everything velvety
Provolone tops it off with that signature cheesesteak flavor
Don't skimp on your steak seasoning - grab one with plenty of garlic and some cracked black pepper in it.

Preparation Method
Cook beef until no pink shows, then drain well for better results.
Cook peppers with onions just until they soften.
Give potatoes a quick boil for consistent cooking.
Put everything in the crockpot in even layers.
Mix everything lightly without mashing the ingredients.
This became my favorite way to feed everyone when I didn't want to spend my whole day cooking.
Pairing Suggestions
Grab some crusty bread for mopping up the tasty sauce. Throw in a fresh green salad on the side for some crunch.
Tasty Twists
Try using mushrooms instead of peppers, play with different cheeses, or sprinkle in some Italian herbs for new tastes.

Save in small containers for quick meals later. Add a little broth when you heat it up again.
