Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef stew meat
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup beef broth
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef stew meat to the skillet and sear on all sides until browned. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, beef broth, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Stir until well combined.
In the bottom of the crock pot, spread an even layer of frozen hash browns (about 3 cups).
Layer the seared beef stew meat over the hash browns.
Top the beef with the diced onion.
Pour the creamy mixture over the beef and onions, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or until the beef is tender.
About 20 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and re-cover to allow the cheese to melt.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
