Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs (680g) thinly sliced beef (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cups frozen diced potatoes (hash browns)
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese

Instructions:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat a tablespoon of oil. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

- Grease the insert of your crockpot with cooking spray or butter. Layer half of the frozen diced potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Arrange half of the cooked beef over the potatoes, followed by half of the sautéed onions and bell peppers.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese over the beef and vegetables.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining frozen diced potatoes, beef, onions, bell peppers, and shredded cheese.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once cooked, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top of the casserole for a pop of color and freshness, if desired.
