Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, brown the beef cubes in a skillet before adding them to the crockpot.
Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack to add a spicy kick.
Add some cooked bacon or smoked sausage for a smoky twist.
Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a different texture and sweetness.

Storage

How to Serve

The image shows a dish on a white plate with several layers. The bottom layer is made of small, roasted potato pieces that are golden brown with some darker roasted spots. Mixed with the potatoes are chunks of tender, cooked beef that are dark brown. On top of this is a layer of melted yellow cheddar cheese, which looks smooth and soft. Above the cheese is a dollop of white sour cream, thick and creamy in texture. The whole dish is sprinkled with chopped green onions, adding bright green color and freshness.

FAQs

Can I use other cuts of beef for this recipe?

Is it necessary to add sour cream and cheese before serving?

Adding sour cream and cheese at the end enriches the dish’s creaminess and flavor, but you can omit or substitute based on preference or dietary needs.
