1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

---

Instructions:

1. Prep: Spray the inside of your crockpot with nonstick spray or use a liner.

2. Sear Steak (Optional): In a skillet, heat olive oil and lightly sear steak pieces for 1–2 minutes per side for added flavor. This step is optional but recommended.

3. Layer: In the crockpot, layer half of the potatoes, half of the onions, half the steak, and a sprinkle of seasoning. Repeat with remaining layers. Top with bacon (reserve some for garnish if desired).

4. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender and steak is cooked through.

5. Add Cheese: About 10–15 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and let melt.

6. Serve: Garnish with green onions and extra bacon. Add a dollop of sour cream if desired.
