Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs ribeye steak, cubed

4 medium russet potatoes, diced

1 small onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup beef broth

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled

Green onions, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Start by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the potatoes, cube the ribeye steak, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.

    Layer in the Crockpot: Place the cubed steak at the bottom of the crockpot. Then layer the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic on top.

      Season: In a bowl, combine the beef broth, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the layered ingredients in the crockpot.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours. The steak should be tender and the potatoes cooked through.

          Make the Creamy Sauce: About 30 minutes before serving, in a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and milk until smooth. Stir this mixture into the crockpot and mix gently to combine.

            Finalize and Serve: Let it cook for an additional 30 minutes to allow the cheese to melt completely. When ready to serve, sprinkle the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions over the top for garnish.

              Enjoy: Serve hot directly from the crockpot, scooping generous portions onto plates.
