Crockpot Loaded Steak and Potato Bake Recipe

Crockpot Loaded Steak and Potato Bake is a hearty, all-in-one comfort meal that brings together juicy pieces of steak, tender potatoes, melty cheese, and all the classic baked potato toppings. Everything cooks low and slow in the crockpot, which means I can toss it together, walk away, and come back to a satisfying, loaded dinner.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it captures everything I enjoy about a steakhouse-style loaded baked potato—but in a much easier, more hands-off way. The steak turns out tender, the potatoes soak up all the savory juices, and the cheese, and green onions on top bring that loaded flavor I crave. It’s simple, filling, and always a hit with the whole family.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Sirloin steak or stew meat, cut into bite-sized chunks

• Russet or Yukon gold potatoes, diced

• Olive oil

• Garlic powder

• Onion powder

• Smoked paprika

• Salt and black pepper

• Shredded cheddar cheese

• Green onions, chopped

• Sour cream (for serving)

• Optional: chopped parsley, red pepper flakes

Directions

1. I start by tossing the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. I layer the seasoned potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot.

3. I place the steak pieces on top of the potatoes and season them lightly with salt and pepper.

4. I cover and cook everything on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for about 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the steak is cooked through.

5. About 15 minutes before serving, I sprinkle the cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the top, cover again, and let the cheese melt.

6. I garnish the finished dish with chopped green onions and serve with a dollop of sour cream.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves 4 to 6 people and takes about 6 to 7 hours on low or 3 to 4 hours on high, with just 10 to 15 minutes of prep time.

Variations

• I sometimes add mushrooms or bell peppers for more veggie content.

• For a spicy kick, I sprinkle in some cayenne or use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.

• I’ve used sweet potatoes instead of regular ones for a slightly sweeter twist.

• Swapping steak for rotisserie chicken or leftover roast beef works great too.

• I like to add a drizzle of ranch dressing or BBQ sauce over the top sometimes for extra flavor.

storage/reheating

I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I microwave individual servings or warm everything gently in a covered skillet on the stovetop. If it dries out, I stir in a splash of broth or a little sour cream to bring back the creaminess.

FAQs

Can I use frozen steak or potatoes?

I always thaw meat before using it in the crockpot for safety and best texture. Frozen diced potatoes can work in a pinch, though fresh ones hold their shape better.

What kind of steak works best?

I prefer sirloin because it’s lean and stays tender, but stew meat or chuck roast also works well if cooked long enough.

Can I prep this the night before?

Yes, I assemble the layers in the crockpot insert and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, I just set it in the base and start cooking.

How do I make this dish low-carb?

I substitute the potatoes with cauliflower florets, keeping an eye on cook time since they soften faster.

Can I make it vegetarian?

Definitely. I skip the steak and bacon, use veggie broth, and load up on mushrooms, cheese, and extra seasonings.

Conclusion

Crockpot Loaded Steak and Potato Bake is one of those satisfying, feel-good meals that’s both comforting and convenient. It’s full of flavor, customizable to suit any tastes, and perfect for busy days when I still want a homemade dinner. I love how everything cooks together in one pot, making cleanup just as easy as the prep.
