# Detailed Preparation Steps:
01 -
Keep the dish warm if you're not serving right away. Just before digging in, sprinkle chopped parsley on top if you like.
02 -
Put the lid on and let it cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. The potatoes should be tender and the beef cooked through.
03 -
Pour the mix of broth and flour over everything in the slow cooker. Then slowly add the heavy cream on top.
04 -
Add the rest of the potato slices, then the remaining onion, meat, and top with the last cup of cheddar cheese.
05 -
Spread half of the browned beef over the veggies. Then sprinkle half the shredded cheddar on top.
06 -
Put half the sliced potatoes in the slow cooker, then scatter half the onions evenly over them.
07 -
Stir Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and flour together in a small bowl until smooth.
08 -
Heat olive oil in a pan on medium. Season beef cubes with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. Cook beef, turning until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside once done.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
Browning the beef first helps bring out rich flavors. Slice potatoes thin so they cook evenly. You can go for lower-fat cheese and cream if you want fewer calories but still want the taste.
